Dort's ability to guard bigger players makes him the more valuable defender in a team concept. Can't be hunted, doesn't need the same protections. But the great thing is lets just have them both plus Caruso. Plus Chet behind them (hopefully by playoff time).

Wait, you telling me OKC has a third Dort/Caruso level perimeter defender? Not fair.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy
