"Hey Jason, we know you want to bring a defensive mindset to this team but we are going to resign an inefficient chucker who is allergic to defensive as your second highest paid player. Good Luck!"
Follow that up with:
-Jalen walking (the damage was already done here so I don't think retaining him was a reality)
-Not signing anyone to replace Jalen including Dragic who could have saved the effort/money of signing Pinson, Facu and Kemba.
-Using the logic that getting THJ back from injury is our Jalen replacement when the team didn't miss a beat with THJ out.
-Signing a 1YR minimum center to a 3YR deal.
The THJ signing was something they had to do. JB had not broken out yet and where else were you going to get scoring from if Luka was hurt or even in the game? We can argue that they could have got someone better in FA, but chances are more likely they would have got someone worse than THJ. It sucks that THJ is struggling but at that time I dont see how they could have just let him walk.
