Don't get me wrong - I'll believe all this when I see it, and I'm with you, I'd rather it be something much smaller. The priority is to get off of Hardy, OMax, and Powell.
I just worry about asking Flagg to defend the lead ball handler and dealing with so many pick and rolls AND having to find a way to hide both Garland and Kyrie (although I feel Kyrie's played good defense when the playoffs roll around).
There's so much talent right now on the defensive side but it all feels help defense and rim protection focused and lacks POA expertise so I worry would be compounded with a move for Garland.
It's why I'm rooting for Max Christie to make a jump this year because him and Exum are best suited to pair with DLo/BWill.
