Letting Brunson go, to me, meant making a decision to see this Luka era to as close to conclusion as possible. Like, if they'd have had the balls to admit they didn't want to be in the Luka business back THEN, and there'd have been a way to move Luka and KEEP Brunson, this team would very likely be in a pretty decent place right now. Maybe last season wouldn't have been as successful, but then again, maybe it would have.
We'd still have a guy who was a Maverick at the core of this thing, at least. More and more, I'm realizing that's what's bumming me out about all of this.
We still have Lively. That is, until Nico sees how much he means to the fanbase and he ships them off.
