Its hard not to love that everyone we had questions on is balling out right now. So if Hart goes to the starters, we have Grimes playing great right now, and Precious has been a very nice surprise. If the trade goes through for a bench spark, like Brogdon, it helps offset the pressure on Brunson. Hart to the starting five presents size issues, but its not like Hart hasn't defended larger players on a regular basis. so if we add Brodgon, and have Randle and possibly Mitch returning prior to the playoffs, Grimes playing well, Precious playing well, all seems pretty good to be ready for the playoffs.
But without adding Brogdon or similar, we have bench issues. McBride is not a creator, and those Hart rebounds and full court pushes for easy buckets are gone to the starting lineup. The need for that trade taking place increased with Randle going down.
