While defense was a problem last year, so was offense. Doncic was overused, I think we can all agree on that. One issue was Porzingis just did not get into a rhythm. Part of that can potentially be fixed with coaching and hopefully better health. However load management means that Doncic was left shouldering the scoring load with teams roughing him up. Otherwise on offense it was Hardaway who played well enough in the playoffs to get that contract. Markannen and hopefully a better Porzingis would take some of that pressure off Doncic. Against small and fast teams you can put Markannen in a super sixth man role and have Brunson feed him down low.
In terms of practical trade, the Bulls will want something. 2nd rounder should definitely be offered along with maybe Green. I would not trade Brunson or DFS for Markannen though. Kleiber maybe. Powell, WCS, definitely but they would not take them.
