Boban/Brown/WCS were prayers/tradefodder and ended exactly there.
McGee isn't great, but you could see what they want with him.
It's all the Brunson thing to me.
Disagree on THJ being a must. There were plenty of other options. Dinwiddie is clearly a better player and better fit than Timmy. I had mixed feelings on this, but DeRozen was also an option. Lauri Markkanen wanted to be here and would have been a better fit than Timmy. There were also several smaller contracts that would have been interesting: Oubre, Holmes, Jackson, Burks, Green, Caruso, ... Not all of those would have panned out, but we had 34 million in cap space and Bullock is the only player we acquired/retained in free agency that had any real contribution to the team last year.
