I think with a generational talent like Luka you have to approach every year from here on out like you have a shot at the title. Because you do. And because you owe that to Luka, Kidd and the rest of the team. It’s part of what makes the Brunson situation so bad. This season should be marking the beginning of “Operation All-In” and instead it’s another season of “take a step back to take a step forward” pending any upcoming blockbuster trades. I don’t think Westbrook is that. Kyrie for instance puts us in the conversation with the contenders. Still likely a notch below though. I think LA will have to part with one of those juicy future picks to get rid of Westbrook. And they might have other options than our package if that’s the case.
