What is needed is a bunch of players who have the length, ability and willingness to grind while not being a liability on offense . Bullock has that.
I couldn't agree more with this. Even Marion, as great of a defender as he was, couldn't completely lock down a guy like Durant. NBA defense has become more about having players willing to play defense and a scheme that benefits them than anything else. You just can't lock guys down anymore with guys like Luka and the rules geared toward offense.
If they could get Hield and had to give up DFS I'm ok with that and I like DFS a lot.
I would also like to see if they could get Lauri Markannen.
We didn't make the cut but thanks for all the support!
