    Bronny for Bona would be a deft move.

    Yes. Would love him to come up off the ball just a tad at times for a number of reasons. One Sometimes he can get in a zone and stall the offense killing others and turns the ball over on failed foul bait vs more disciplined defenses. Two he get off to hot starts then cools off. Takes ill long shots at times which shows up in shooting percentage. As a good shooter he hovers around Lebron percentage because of this. Three it lets him conserve some energy to help on defense and finish game stronger. Thats really about it. very minor adjustments to go with a more team approach. Kind of what Phill did for Kobe and MJ. Cant just have guys out there just doing dirty work and fight over crumbs. One man bands dont produce rings in the NBA.

    Made that point the other day. We move like Austin been super star that lead teams and teaming up with Luka and Walker is this dominate all star big . They can base on potential but yet to do so at this point. With bigger roles i think they will be decent not all time greats Level but good enough to form a solid team.
