He had some great moments in Boston series. No matter what you say about the fit, KAT and Brunson were both all NBA. They also had decent chemistry at times especially at the beginning of the year. More importantly, with these two, you can always put decent offense when one of them is on the bench. OG was probably the most consistent and had a great season. Mitch contributed once he was healthy and you can’t really replace him with that salary slot. Deuce is still young and cheap not to bring him back. I suppose we can find a better fit for Hart’s spot so maybe that is what we should look at but he also had some great games and was one of the more consistent players on fast breaks, going to the rim and hustle plays.
We have good but not perfect players. Everyone, including JB, had their low stretches. But there seem to be no obvious replacements any better out there available. Maybe with a new (different) coach, playing Precious to spell bigs at times, playing Shamet and Wright to spell Mikal and Hart, and picking up an affordable Mitch-annual-injury alternate we can just pray everyone is healthy again and reach the finals. Or rehire Thibs.
