He solves so many of our issues. Keeping some combination of Luka, Ball and Brunson on the court at all times (and all 3 occasionally) would be a great situation for years to come. Ball also makes great sense for NY and Chicago, so he will get paid. I think the estimates of $20mm seem low.
Watching the Nuggets last night, and it's amazing how well Aaron Gordon has fit in. He's probably rarely going to have some amazing 30 points, 13 rebound night for them, but their 5 man lineups with him on the floor since the trade (small sample size alert) are through the rooof. He's fills in all the skillset gaps on the floor of the other 4 players. Ball would fill in a lot of skillset gaps for us.
