Great post. Makes sense.
The only comment I have is that this offseason seemed different to me because they signed a starter level player early rather than waiting on a superstar, or waiting on anyone. We've all wished they would have done that before. Bullock is a higher level player than Delon or JRich.
And Bullock and Sterling both seem to be in line with the "surround Luka with shooters and defenders" (which I like) wheras Delon and JRich were more "hope they can be the defender/secondary creator" moves. Neither guy had really proven much. JRich had one good year, but the signing included hope that he could return to that and wasn't based on what he had done recently. And the attempt at a secondary creator this offseason (which has failed so far) was for someone who is proven rather than a hope in someone taking another step forward.
Those are differences I see in this offseason. If you're disappointed that our higher tier player attempt (Lowrey) failed, I am too. But I'm happy that they moved quickly to sign a starter level player, which seems different.
