He’s a good example of buy low that worked out, but i’m more thinking of Durant/Lillard level of player who’s going to create a bidding war.
He wasn't? This sounds like narrative. He was 29 and well into his prime. He has been roughly the same player for the Bucks as he was for New Orleans. The reality is that quality defense is generally under valued in the market, and what we need next to Luka is a good offensive player that can do some playmaking and some creation but importantly a high level perimeter defender. That player will be gettable when we have access to our picks.
