In both halves they played Vuc, Theis and Markkanen at the same time (so Markkanen is the SF?).
Is the Market for Markkanen really $22 million? Between Christian Wood, Gallinari, Bertans and Grant, who is the best comp? Is he a starter? It would take a pretty specific group around him. Or, is he more of a third big who can score off the bench?
If he wasn’t a lottery pick and we just looked at his data, I wonder if we’d see more Kelly Olynyk than $22mm guy.
BTW, depending on whether they are trying to operate under the cap to renegotiate LaVine, I think a S&T is possible here. I just think it more likely for Hardaway than Powell. Can you replace what Hardaway does with the MLE (McDermott?) and get two guys to help make the bench thrive?
