Agree.
I'm pretty happy how we handled TDL. We aren't a championship team yet, but we make massive progress in that direction. Not sending 1 remaining 1 round pick also suggest (for a player like Bogdanovic) that maybe FO is looking in the summer to make that step further and wasn't making desperate moves which wouldn't improve us in the next seasons.
We've basically get from ''this is going nowhere, tank please,'' to a we are 1 piece away of becoming a championship team in 1 week.
We got Wood and Kyrie for a really good price, now it's on the FO to extend them so we can attack championship in the next year.
That roster of:
Wood - Powell - McGee
? - Kleber - Morris
Green - Bullock - Pinson
Kyrie - Hardaway - Hardy
Luka - ? - Ntilkina
Is pretty good playoff team.
If we can get Reggie Jackson on buyout i think we can say we are 1 piece away from becoming real contender.
That team going into next season, that's pretty strong team and we will see what is going to happen also in other teams. From what we've seen in the last season(s) our FO didn't overpay for a players, so it will be interesting to see if they can also find and bring something similar also on 4-3.
