It's kind of crazy that we went through all these narratives as to why the team was playing so poorly when in reality it really was just a matter of the shooting coming around from the key guys we needed it from (namely DFS, Reggie and Maxi). This team was showing signs of improved defense even when we were losing and now that our guys are really figuring it out we're looking elite.
I'm kind of obsessed with the idea of flipping Hardaway and a couple FRPs (whether it's '27 and '29 or '25 and '27) for Jerami Grant. Seems to make sense on both sides. Hardaway still has value but we need to prioritize Brunson next to Luka going forward.
Would still be in favor of moving KP for a center that better fits what we're trying to do on offense because while I think he's been much improved on that side of the floor, still am worried about defenses isolated him (and Luka for that matter) in half court sets.
This all seems to be rounding into form though...build a defense around Luka and trust that he can create enough open looks on the other end to outscore our opponent seemed be the thought on paper and now it's coming to fruition.
