What I also suggested was waiting until we have draft assets to move so that we don't have to break this group up, we can add to it.I would add that this is the first year of the JK regime, with half of that time trying to shore up KP enough to decide if there was enough fit to save or otherwise get something of value for him.
Since then, I think we can all agree that the team has grown closer, they play better, they seem to be supporting each other and the success is demonstrable. This is culture development, and we are getting to watch it develop right in front of us. If developed properly, this will be significant for incorporating future personnel moves as now the environment will support and develop players who buy in and squeeze out those who don't.
This is definitely Luka's team, but Kidd is proving that they can still be competitive even when Luka's on the shelf. I'm hoping to mimic SAS, not because I'm a fan (although RESPECT for Pops) but because you better bring your "A" game or you'll go home a loser.
