If defense wins titles why did they choose to rebuild with a 33 year old Kyrie as the main cog? Plus he was bad in the Finals. Luka actually had a very good series. Boston also won mainly due to their offense sprinkled with defense that was overall better than the Mavs. Our centers who were our strengths in the previous series got exposed by Boston with their 5 out offense. How can a NBA GM not be aware of any of this and just ramble cliches of defenses winning championships?
Plus he has a nice out now given that we many never see many games with a fully healthy Kyrie and AD out there. Something which btw he should have predicted given their injury history and ages. He can always claim injuries didn’t help the team realize his grand vision. Unfortunately for him, no team or corporation in their right mind is going to hire him in a basketball capacity after this gig expires. He will forever be remembered for the most ridiculous trade in basketball history and then another equally bad trade a week later.
