DL’s hand is going to be forced soon on creating more offense. When our defense is good, but our defensive focus and intensity wanes when we can score the damn ball, we’ll see that a number of our issues aren’t magically fixed by strength of schedule.
On another note, a year and a half ago we traded up to draft a guy who plays only one position, and it’s the position of our best player. Not to mention that we’re already playing one of our better guys out of position because he can’t get enough minutes at his natural position because our best player plays that position. Plus we also have the best defender in the world who can’t sniff anything more than occasional garbage time. So we’ve got this guy who’s played 28 total NBA minutes. We’re a third of the way through the season, and he’s yet to log a single damn minute this year.
Like it or not, I’ve seen the future, and DL will be backed into a corner where he will have to kick the tires on Jabari. Favors, Bradley, and a second round pick are moving to Chicago. The only teams I could see moving for Jabari would be Houston or Sacramento. Maybe NOP desperation move. But I think only Houston would even be in the ball park of offering a first rounder. They may take a flyer on Bradley and I’d like to believe that we could throw in Tomic for teh lolz.
