And he is a guy you hate playing against with all his shenanigan's. If he is on your team though, you love them.
The age is a legit worry, but this team needs to go into every year know trying to win a championship. No more redshirt years with Luka on the team.
I would be fine with the overpay if there was another move tied to the Lowry signing.
I just find it hard to make everything fit. IMO it will be a lot easier if Richardson opts out. Then they would need to move Maxi or Powell. Maxi would be easier to move but still could be challenging getting space back for him. Plus, that would open another hole on the bench. I can't imagine Masai would willingly take Richardson, Powell and/or Maxi. He tends to think bigger and these type of players don't appear to move the needle for him. If Lowry does leave for nothing though, that would be a rare mistake from him. He probably could have gotten some solid young assets for him at the deadline.
