Good takes. Honestly, I think NAW invalidates not just Nowell and Rivers… but maybe JMac as well. He plays better defense with better additives to that defense, all while looking like the pg of the future for this team if he keeps improving, at least for the next year learning behind Conley, who seems to like him and be happy to mentor him.
The money that would have gone towards those 3 can be used to hold onto Naz and NAW, both important pieces that will help this team grow.
I would say Rudy Gobert is a much, much bigger disappointment. Expectations for these guys we'e low, and this season proved why. However the expectations for Gobert were extremely high, and they were not even close to being met.
I don't see any of these guys on the roster next year.
