We just need to find SOME way to get our defense respectable. Trae ain't going anywhere, so that means between Murray, Bey, Bogi we need some serious upgrades defensively
Agreed on the first point. RN I see our weakest links defensively as Murray and Bey. Most of the others aren't great either, but Young and Bogi are too good offensively.. Hunter would be better if he was our #2 defender on the perimeter and/or had more help around him.
I'm good with Delon or Caruso.
What are thoughts on this: Murray + 2ish assets for Mikal Bridges? I think for us to upgrade our defense in a playoff sustainable way, unfortunately one of Young or Murray will have to go and Young's upside is too high.
This is the key. When we get on the break we look fantastic, when we don't our offense slows down a little bit. It starts with Trae + JJ but Murray, Capela, Bogi, Hunter have gotten out and run some too.
I think you could say the same about us. I think we're putting more effort in but I still worry about our defense.
True, he was older than I remembered. On paper we have more talent than they did but we need somebody outside of Trae/Murray to really pop more than "good roleplayer."
