We were at the WCF, could have been a real contender by just keeping JB and now have to fight for the POs..

I find that very debatable ...and think it will prove to be WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY wrong.

Losing Brunson may cost them the top seed. But if I have to call it, I'm calling it -- this team is going to be better than you (and many) think, even without JB. Barring some sort of catastrophic injury, the "normal" outcome on this team is going to be in the top tier. (See Doncic, L.)

I'd rather have Brunson too. Or another playmaker type. But this Luka guy is really special, and I don't think we yet ascertain what that portends. But we will.
