2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

Obviously, the other big question is who plays well with Luka.  Sticking with 12/1 as the start date, Bullock is +26.5.  In the cameo department, Sterling, Chriss and Moses all have really nice 20-plus net numbers in limited minutes.  Back to the regulars, Luka is in the 10+ area with THJ, Green and KP since 12/1.  It drops down to +4.3 with Powell, +2.8 with Maxi, +0.5 with DFS and -3.1 with Brunson.  What?  Surely it looks better since January 1st where we've won six of seven games?  Nope.  Brunson/Luka are -5.6 since 1/1.  Luka and DFS are -9.5.  As we think through trade scenarios, who plays well with who probably matters (small sample size warning).  If so, Bullock isn't going anywhere.  He's killing it alongside either KP or Luka.  Hardaway/KP lineups are bad, but Hardaway/Luka lineups are good.  Other side of the coin, DFS with KP is fantastic.  DFS with Luka...not so much.  Maxi and Brunson aren't exactly lighting it up next to either KP or Luka....rut row rastro.

I guess one (MBT) could argue the offseason guys are doing really well.  The old core guys have the least effective +- numbers with Luka?  Kinda obvious what needs to be done.  Just get a good return in the process.
