Honestly, I don't want to be a doom&gloomer, but there isn't much you can do without significant assets. The truth is that we should have tanked for another year or two, instead we did what the Pelicans did with Anthony Davis, and tried to instantly build a team around him, without any other significant young asset. Brunson turned out to be really, really nice, but he is not a championship Nr. 2 talent.

Because we tried to give the best short term team to Luka instead of the best long term team, the roster is inherently flawed, and this is about to come full circle when we give Brunson his 25 million this summer. We will be a perennial dark horse team in 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 too, and our next chance to do anything will probably be the summer of 2024 when Dinwiddie and Bertans are gone, and the cap have hopefully went up.
