Imagine if the MBT were more patient after drafting Luka and pulled the trigger on someone like CJ instead of rushing into the first big name that presented itself.

How long were they supposed to wait?  Plus waiting alone doesn’t mean they would have got CJ.  Unfortunately Luka and KP as a tandem didn’t work out. Also KP could never stay healthy.  Atthe end of the day it doesn’t matter which secondary star you bring in.  NBA teams that have a transcendent star hurt are not going far no matter how good that secondary star is unless you are talking about the  secondary star also being an absolute stud.  Not sure cj fits that bill. 

The real miss here is the Josh Green draft. I have been one of his biggest backers on this board and still feel he will be a glue type guy for any team he plays for. However Maxey, Bane, Bey…the future of this team would look so different with one of those. You hit on Brunson and don’t have a team option. Another blunder.  It is the blunders that they could have controlled that is coming back to bite them more.
