Ryan,
I agree with your take 100%.
How Sheed & Rip respond will be keys to their team right now, at least, until they can re-acquire Diceman, if he’s so-inclined.
Without Stuckey, though … I abhor the back-court combo of Bynum [as a starter?] + anybody else on their current roster.
Will Bynum is a solid 3rd-string PG … but other than that he brings nothing of value to the table, IMO.
===============================
re: this season
Problem for me is … I thought that they were a pretty darn good team as is, before the trade.
Not Laker-worthy but still very, very good.
re: next few years
No problem for me there … if Joe D. can use the A.I. money wisely.
Time will tell.
===============================
Looks like now … challenging times ahead for Michael Curry & Co.
