Tough call. Do you break up this chemistry now, or wait until the summer when you can deal him at the draft with the pick we just made.
If we add a PG, he can't push Brunson to the bench...poor retention strategy.
Do we have enough at the wing positions with DFS, Bullock and Green in a playoff rotation? Maybe, if DFS doesn't have to play PF as much. Might be better to give Green another year before counting on him for heavy minutes in a playoff game.
Grant, heck even Thaddeus Young would help on nights DFS has foul trouble. He defends and passes really well. Imagine if we hadn't traded Barnes right now. We never really spent his cap room after swinging and missing on Walker (and apparently Lowry). I was listening to Barnes and Grant being compared on a podcast the other day as an addition to the Bulls in a deal involving Patrick Williams. The conclusion of the host was Barnes was the better fit mainly because Barnes is better from three and more of Grants game comes from the mid-range (which Chicago has in spades already).
