They talked about fatigue setting in. This trade gives them much needed perimeter defense (I think they lost some of that with Brown) and they got lit up by Ant man because no one matched up with him physically. Losing Brain hurts but I think it’s worth it in the end.

Jokic and Murray carried a lot of the load in the playoffs. Kuzma can come off the bench and fill the same role he did winning in the bubble. Johnathan Issac brings much needed defense to this which it was middle of the pack even during its championship run.
