Roster thoughts:
Exum is different than Green/THJ/DJJ. I don’t see him as “POA defender” like Green or DJJ. His primary position is “bench ball handler/distributor”. We don’t have anyone else that can do that (outside of Luka/Kyrie). He’s needed when either Luka/Kyrie are off the floor
Green and DJJ play the same position now, POA defender and athletic secondary scorer. Exum and PJ are more secondary options for this duty against teams with multiple high quality guards (PJ looked amazing when he was switched onto SGA)
I like Hardaway so much more after the trade. I think he’s the guy that has the most minutes taken away when everyone is healthy. He’s a great 8th/9th/10th man that can get more or less minutes depending on if we need extra shooting or not. Between Exum and Hardaway i feel comfortable in the minutes where Luka and Kyrie both sit. Therefore he’s more in his natural position of 2 guard than his miscast position of 3 or even lol-4.
Super underrated part of the trades: Maxi, Exum, DJJ…..key role players who’ve been run into the ground are now all bench players and can have their minutes reduced to keep them fresh
