There were 2-3 stretches in the 2nd half of the season, some while Porzingis was hurt and one after the trade, during which the offense looked GREAT to me.
I have no interest in arguing. I'm not saying the defense has been good or not a problem, but this narrative that Luka and a bunch of defenders could compete rings totally false to me. 2-way players, yes, but only if their strengths are used to cohesive effect. This offense with a better defense is still a dead end.
They (whoever "they" means...maybe the FO, maybe Kidd, maybe Luka, himself, maybe all of them) are literally trying to recreate the Harden Rockets, and I'm not into it.

Agreed, to an extent. He wouldn't be "the target" for me, but since the rumor is DFS to Utah, he's one of the few players there who'd make sense from a talent perspective, imo. Maybe it's a three-way deal or whatever, and there are certainly other deals I'd like better.
The point is that Beasley is not one of them.
