Renewed energy in the locker room and happy Giannis. What they really need is for Marjon Beauchamp or Andre Jackson Jr. to be their Josh Green. That way, they have Dame covered with 4 excellent to great defenders surrounding him, assuming Middleton isn’t cooked.
Even if it turns out to be a lateral move in the end they absolutely needed to do it, just to show Giannis they are all-in. I hope he doesn’t renew his contract too soon and waits at least how this first season plays out. They have no more assets now and Lillard isn’t the youngest, so the reload around Giannis in 3 or 4 years would be really tough to do. Nobody cares if they win the title next year, so we‘ll have to wait and see!
And yes, I‘m still dreaming about the Giannis-Luka-euro-super-duo, simply because it would be epic…
