It'll be worse. I was a big supporter of Deebo. Sure, he has upsides, but watching him last season, he's the momentum killer, forget about team basketball, with him in the starting lineup. They gotta move him at all costs.
I like bringing in Kuminga or any other starter type 4. This forces Keegan to play his natural position and make a move to free up space in the starting lineup. Almost forgot, not at the expense of Keon.
While I agree, there were plays they could have made obvious choices well within their capabilities. Just Max is too willing; on the contrary, Devin is a bit ignorant.
Besides, they are not a finished product yet; player development is what would make them succeed in this league. Even...
Offensively, they could build solid chemistry in such a short time. Good ball movement, transition offense, very impressive.
Wish Max were a bit selfish, and vice versa with Devin.
How credible is NBA insider Jake Fischer? I wouldn't mind him from the bench if the price is right. If he can hold up, he could be a great asset to the frontcourt.

My colleague is a Bulls fan, and he had that evil smile when we picked up Deebo and Zach. I did my best to justify the Deebo trade, now I see their triumph. The Bulls shifted toward a full-scale rebuild, youth development, and draft capital.
On the other hand, we got stuck in 3rd gear for 2-3...
I'm sure Mike had some influence over Monte's trade and draft picks, but the final decision-making is ultimately up to Monte. Although out of position, we had no one to cover 4 better than Keegan, plus Deebo situation. Monte would have done something if he were a confident GM, seeing the logjam...
To Mike's defense, he had no choice but to play Keegan at 4 with Monte's guard-heavy roster.
Scott's recent draft picks and free agency pursuit suggest he prefers a more balanced roster. Hopefully, he wouldn't make the same mistake with Keegan, and now with Nique forcing Doug to make tough choices.
Whether it's PG, SG, or even SF, Nique seems wouldn't have no problem subbing in any role with his all around game.
What impressed me most is he's a consistent and not ball dominant player, yet he dictates the pace and impacts the game in a winning way.
