Lots of extra days until game 2. I can´t wait for game 1. Only once in his career have we seen Luka be on a legitimiate top team. When he won literally everything there is to win with Real Madrid by age 18. I feel this is the 2nd best team he´s ever played on.
I mean look at this player for player
Luka = Luka
Irving = Brunson
DJJ = Bullock
Washington = DFS
Gafford = Powell
Exum = Dinwiddie
THJ = Burke
Green = Ntilikina
Kleber = Kleber
Lively = Bertans
The only thing that scares me is the reliable 3rd scorer. If we had one, I´d back us to go all the f`n way.
My ears pricked, when I heard Simons say he´s tired of losing. I have no idea how highly the Blazers rate him, especially in combination with Sharpe and Scoot, but I´d throw THJ + unprotected 1st round pick + Hardy at them and see if they blink. Perfect fit. Flamethrower. 24 years old.
Debatable about Kyrie over Brunson, especially this year. Both are brilliant players. I'd say it's a wash. If they would have resigned Brunson, Kyrie wouldn't be here.
