However, our hope was only hope, not a guarantee. Perhaps it turns out we already got what turns out to be Luka’s best years. Perhaps Luka’s extreme percentage of the luxury tax would have turned us into Phoenix. We will never know now. That in itself hurts. Fortunately we do have a lot of top level talent still to root for. PJ and Powell will be back soon. Yea. I guess.   But no roasting for seeing a silver lining that is actually quite nice to see.

If we are worried about turning into Phoenix, trading for KD doesn't make a lot of sense.
