And giving big money to Danny Green, Pat Beverley, or Jae Crowder would have been bad too considering the other holes this team would still have. Yes, the defense has been bad the last 2 years and needs to improve. But no way am I sacrificing offensive talent for defense right now. Improving the overall defense will require years and years of roster re-shaping. We have to be patient there.
So let's keep that in mind as we consider potential signings and trades. There are some good defensive guys out there but if the offense doesn't get better, we could see their defensive impact be limited.
I think Crowder just wanted years but we had to be cute with preserving future cap space. He was great for the Suns in their closeout game against the Lakers. That's my long winded way of saying, I wouldn't have hated to have him on the team for the Clippers Series.
Agree with you on the defensive rebuild but we really need to get a big who is a vacuum on the boards and someone that can be a semblance of secondary playmaking. Both of these things to help take pressure off of Luka for having to do everything out there. He's just worn out by the time the 4th quarters roll around.
