This makes me circle back to what I wrote yesterday. As long as we have means to replace DJJ loosing him isn’t the end of this team’s playoff aspirations. Marshall is a good defender and shooter I am perfectly fine with going from DJJ to him if the latter wasn’t on board with a diminished role. I understand that he did good things here but we’ve seen in the finals that a PJ + DJJ starting frontcourt isn’t talented enough on offense at that level. It’s a good thing to me that they’re willing to address this spot with their biggest offseason move.
And even if Klay / T. Harris suck Marshall is a very good safety net.
I’m afraid we are going to find that the Luka/Kyrie/Klay lineup is not good enough defensively to make it to the finals.
