I had similar thoughts about THJ but he has proven himself to be a better passer and playmaker.A few things, first, I wonder if the reason we traded HB is because he didn't want to play the role we wanted him to play going forward and he politely requested a trade.
I think Lukas chemistry with the current wings is a lot better than last years with Matthews and Barnes.
I also wonder if he would have become what he is now in Sac without being upset about it. He's a 15/5/2.4 in 35mpg guy there. Those assists (highest in his career on GSW usage which is 6-7.5% less) are another indication that his willingness to pass is evident and he doesn't seem too much like a ballstopper there. His % haven't changed much either, just is getting a few less shots per game. I do still wonder had he stayed, if he would play the same type of game he's playing there though.
Makes me wonder if he had stayed, what would the rotation have been?
To start the season:
Luka/JB/JJB
THJ/Curry/Bro
HB/DFS/Roby
KP/Maxi/?
DP/Boban/?
Now?:
Luka/JB/JJB
Curry/Bro?/?
THJ/DFS/Roby?
HB/Maxi/?
KP/WCS/Boban
