    I get that. But my point, and could be wrong, is that I don’t see Mark Walter as an owner letting HARD to come by unique talents already here and having proven themselves under the glare of the Lakers spotlight (Reaves, Hachimura, Kennard, Smart, even Ayton) …. get away. Whatever it takes. You ADD to that core wherever the winning formula slots them later each season on the team depth chart.

    Gonzaga bias but Chet should be careful what he wishes for… Rui might accommodate him lol

    I agree with this point to a certain degree.
    However, elite defense is played as a team. We saw throughout this season how horrible this team was defensively until the end of the season in which they actually started playing together on that end. We had a squad of so called individually poor defenders in Luka, AR, Rui, LeBron(age limitations) turn into a very good unit.
    For me, the wide margin of age and athleticism is the hardest hurdle to get over when it comes to beating OKC.
