Utah is the #1 seed and they basically returned their entire roster from a team that got bounced in the 1st round of the playoffs last year.
On converse, quit falling in love with other players and over valuing them and thinking they're automatic upgrades just because they play for another team. Look at all the fawning over Josh Richardson last offseason. Oh, he was just going to step in Day 1 and be better than all of the overrated non-Luka scrubs on our current roster. Morey couldn't get him out of Philly fast enough, but Mav Fans thought he was this huge difference maker and instant upgrade just because he wasn't one of the MBT guys. Look at all the blubbering trade proposals over Buddy Hield, who is at best no better than THJ and actually is paid $20 million a year AND you would have to trade assets to obtain over that.. So much time spent over Andre Drummond, who is unplayable in the playoffs and generally one of the most overrated players in the NBA for the last several years running.. So many posts about friggin Evan Fournier being much better than THJ . Let's not kid ourselves ... most fans enjoy proposing trades than the actual games, and most of it is because they just like daydreaming about new toys to play with and work forward with the justifications from there.
