DFS provides a lot of energy and value for money, but after WCF and to Finals, he will always count as negative. Always. Not saying a team with him cant win, if we are positive compared to opponents on other positions. Especially with Luka. But the team would greatly increase chances for a championship if we got a better quality player here.
DFS is not even close to being one of the best defenders in the league. He is a good defender, that's it. He is good shooter on open 3s - thats it. Its a huge advantage in Luka offense to get those opportunities. He cant create his own shot, he cant shoot covered by defenders, this is what you need to do in WCF and Finals if you want to contribute to winning and destroy the opponents gameplan. He cant distribute the ball around and make contested shots around the paint, which you need to do against the best teams.
All in all, im not saying we should get rid of DFS, that he is bad, he is a good player, he is better at that value than many other options, but it is clear to be a dynasty or championship team, you need a lot a lot more playmaking, bbIQ, and a lot more defense from your wing/PF. A championship team absolutely need to be composed of not only good, but great players, that can mess up opponents gameplans. DFS is not that player.
100% with you on this.
