That being said, I think Luka nullifies a lot of what Gobert brings to the table. I also think a 5 out offense with Kat/Reid will be more effective with Lively out (crossing fingers that Maxi can play and not be rusty). So if there was ever a time to play Ried more than Gobert, its probably tomorrow night.
I agree with all of this. And will emphasize I don’t think Reid is in the same ballpark defensively as Maxi. I definitely didn’t know that’s what the board thinks of him.
