We weren't winning with Luka regardless. Next steps?

TEAM TALK

We were getting destroyed by OKC in the regular season with Luka.

I don't know what the plan is; do we let LeBron walk if he wants a max? Do we max AR? I wouldn't feel good about either of those choices.

We definitely need to keep Rui, would like to keep Luke as well.

I don't see how we can really improve our roster, and I still see Bron as a valuable player for us for 1-2 years. Bron was by far our best player in the playoffs even with AR; it's just he got fatigued faster each series with absence of Luka.

I am worried about Luka, Bron, AR trio though; I think one of Bron or AR need to lead the 2nd group for consistency instead of having all 3 at the same time, so that we're more consistent for 48 minutes.
