I agree we can use upgrades on both offense and defense but my stance is just say no to offense who can’t play defense. If your core is Luka and or KP then get more defense around them.
Brunson and THJ are good. IMO they are good bench players. We need 2 better starting defenders around Luka/KP and for the fifth starter, I can compromise on a bit of defense provided it is a solid shooter. Given that 2 teams that highly desired him have given up on him, I don’t want to waste any asset capital on him. If he is cut and comes cheap the sure take a flyer.
Again, I don't want Kemba. I want off of Bullock's contract. Kemba is cheaper and expires a year sooner. #TeamRebuild (yes, I know that will not happen)
KP wouldn't be in my long term plans either. The fit with Luka isn't natural, there are just aspects of his game I'm not a fan of and you always have looming injury concerns.
THJ is getting paid way too much to be a good bench player. I'm with you in that Jalen and THJ shouldn't start next to Luka. Tim's defense was painful last night.
