I actually think it makes sense.  Offense wasn’t their problem.  Their 23rd ranked D was the issue.  He’s a multi-positional defender who can take pressure off of James when they play together or replace his D when Lebron is off.  JJ doesn’t buy the groceries.

Also if I were the agent being able to get Lebron to take a discount for my new guy is a pretty compelling argument to the next player I might want to want to flip to the dark side.  Finally, is it a little worrisome to anyone else that nothing has leaked?  I get that there might be a strategic advantage to not making an announcement.  You know who can’t leak anything about signing DJJ?  Everyone but us.

Man, this kinda reminds me of when you called Brunson leaving before most of the board even accepted it as a possibility.

Hope you're wrong but afraid you're right.
