I'm glad we're in agreement there.
I really wanted Kemba that free agency year. I didn't think his knees were damaged goods and were waiting to implode. You called it before anyone. Kudos.

Can they really afford Lonzo Ball keeping in mind that Zion's max extension is looming? I'll say it again. Lonzo and Luka would be a dynamic backcourt. He could be our secondary ball handler, allowing Luka to take a break. He's a terrific defender and can shoot the 3. He's everything we wanted from Josh Richardson and he's only 23 years old. If a team wants to play small...we can go with a lineup of:
Luka (6'7")
Lonzo (6'6")
THJ (6'6")
DFS (6'8")
KP (7'3")
All 5 guys have the ability to shoot 3s. You have 2 above average defenders in Lonzo and DFS. Fingers crossed that KP can be a defensive force again with vigorous training in the offseason. Instead of THJ, you could have Kleber in the lineup who is a much better defender. At least Dallas has options.
I am totally convinced that Lonzo/Adams offseason would fix A LOT of the issues with the team. I think Maxi/Brunson would be exactly what the Pels would want given their salary situation.
