Again credit to Leon for this move. The culture is building. Next man up approach is working. JB is the key and we need a backup JB type of guard (Brogdon). We only have 1 floor general and 1 old school bully ball player. I believe we have backups for Jules but no floor general behind JB.
Don't love the wording.
But DDV was already signed with the idea that he would be IQs replacement. He just so happen to also beat out Grimes for that starting spot eventually. And he continues to look better, could easily get 30mins a night if they didn't need to find mins for Grimes. Signing DDV created an imbalance to begin with, but its proven to be the better long term play after the short term imbalance.
Said it last year that Brunson doing what he was doing with the worst front court spacing in the NBA(RJ/Randle/Mitch) showed how good he was.
