Shit, I missed that.

Well looking forward to whichever team Luka joins in 2 years.

The situation is definitely a lot more precarious than many people realize. Losing Brunson is such a massive blow. Our only real opportunity for upside on this current roster is the hope that Wood plays at an all star level next to Luka and that Hardy turns out to be a Brunson or Tyrese Maxey level prospect. Everyone else are nice role players but more or less at their peak and all are at best properly paid (DFS/Bullock/Maxi), somewhat overpaid (Dinwiddie/THJ) or at worst wildly overpaid (Bertans). Wood and Hardy are the only ones we can really hope will significantly outplay their contract unless you think Green or Ntilikina are set to break out. Combine that with limited draft capital and no real projected cap space until like 2024, when Luka will be entering into his 7th year, it's looking kind of bleak.
