DJJ has been a big help last year, nobody is denying that, but it’s not like he’s a perfect two way building block. He has flaws as a player, that’s why he was a minimum player last year and that’s why he’s probably an MLE type player even after his breakout year during the prime years of his career. That’s still a good player to have and a huge success for him individually given where he was 12 months ago but the world doesn’t end if he leaves.
And the crazy thing: despite the Klay-thing it doesn’t even look like DJJ is leaving. Maybe that changes in 9-10 hours but as of now nothing has been lost.
We’ve had MUCH worse dumb crap happen over the last dozen offseasons, maybe it’s because I’m getting older myself, but JFC relax a bit.
To me DJJ leaving is as bad as loosing out on Jeremy Lin 10 years ago in the aftermath of the VAJ disaster. It hurts for sure but big picture-wise other things are a lot more important and you’d still have plenty of avenues to replace him.
Heck they already made a nice move with Grimes. That’s a solid option to help with wing defense already and there would be more to come anyway.
I think this right here is the plan IF DJJ leaves:
Hardaway ==> Klay (SnT
Green ==> Grimes
DJJ ==> MLE
I really wouldn’t see where the problem is with that. This isn’t like letting Brunson walk in FA.
POTD. I haven’t caught up on the 20+ pages I’ve missed while being away for a day but couldn’t pass up on replying to this one.
