Sure I'd like Conley. That's probably the best bet we have at recreating some of that guard magic from last year without giving up a ton.
I'm most curious how we'll end up using the bigs and how Wood & Maxi are going to end up meshing. I think it's going to be huge for them to play well together and for us to play plenty of big lineups with one PG
I totally agree on the Dinwiddie vs Brunson part. Last offseason the general consensus was that Brunson was an undersized shooting guard (he never had more than 3.5 assets per game at that point) who was a good bench player that struggles with good defenses, especially in the playoffs. Going into this season I have more confidence that Dinwiddie can play with Luka and run the second unit than I did regarding Brunson last season (before his big leap).
However, It should be pointed out that there was a lot of consternation last offseason regarding 3rd playmaker. Cuban stated their biggest need was a playmaker with size (which screamed DeRozan or Dinwiddie) and they failed to get anything. When Luka or Brunson missed time before the TDL, this offense was a shit show without one of them on the court. It makes it more frustrating because this mistake has already been made once. Why are they repeating it again?
