MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

Can you define or try and box in "generate offense" and "super expensive"

Genuinely asking.

I'll try.  

Players who generate offense don't need another teammate to create good shots for them.  THJ, for example, requires others to create good looks for him.  On our current team, Luka and Kyrie are both brilliant at generating offense.  Hardy can create as well although inefficiently.  PJ and Josh Green can both create a bit.  THJ and Kleber and the centers don't create at all.  

Players who are good at creating offense are generally very expensive.  For example, Jordan Poole signed a 4-year, $128 million dollar deal because he is good at creating for himself.  Kuzma is considered to have a good contract because he's at 4-years, $90 million and he can generate offense.  

We might not be able to afford another player who is good at generating offense both in terms of salary and assets to acquire.  We're better off limiting our future targets to players who are good defenders and above-average 3-point shooters.  The hope is that Jaden Hardy continues to improve and becomes our creator off the bench.
