I personally thought he proved to be a great fit with Luka, so this would subtract greatly from my faith in the decision makers.
I don't remember them explicitly saying that, but I think fit concerns are legitimate. Kidd worked some magic to make this a good defensive team in the regular season, but it was a different story in the playoffs. I think it will be very difficult to have a high level playoff defense with Luka and Brunson on the court together. You can even make an argument that the offensive fit is not perfect. Both players are more comfortable with the ball in their hands, although I can see Brunson improving his off ball game eventually.
