Is that really that much of a game changer? You can always pick someone up if there are a couple of injuries (hence Gump's cushion).Wasn’t it such a game changer offensively when we had Luka/Brunson/Dinwiddie in a 3 man rotation at the guard spots? We were able to constantly attack and kick. Luka wouldn’t have to do so much. Plus both Luka and Kyrie miss a bunch of games combined.
Exum was great last year. I view him as similar to Maxi. Exum will miss some time but he had some huge stretches last season. He’s supplemental though
Hardy should be given a big chance to open the year. He’s got to put it all together right now and show he’s ready for a real role. He has to show he can be a smart player and cut out the turnovers. Needs to be a consistent scorer and passable defender. If he looks lost by December still we trade him
