Hali and Tatum have youth on their side unlike Lillard. Hali having such a skinny build reminds me of KD in that regard and KD is one of the more successful returns from that injury. None of them are mountains of men like a Boogie so that also bodes well, but the odds are still against them. Hopefully the medicine and recovery around that injury just better now. 25 years old just makes my heart drop.
The East is wide open next year. I wonder if the Suns would have waited until after the Finals - do the Knicks make a better offer for KD and push for a title next season.
The West just stays ridiculously difficult...heck, the state of Texas alone is ridiculous now.
