As I look back on that offseason, there was a 3 out there that we probably had a shot at getting. I was not a huge fan of the DeRozan fit with Luka, but I felt the same way about Din and that has worked out well. A Luka/DeRozan pairing surrounded by 3&D guys would have been interesting. Kind of crazy that Chicago got both guys.
Karnisovas is a master negotiator. When Ball and DeRozan asked whether they´d start every game his answer was YES.
