“It’s hard to have next man up when the next man up has to play in a different system than we had the game before. You can’t do that. Also, in a league where there are one- and two-year contracts, you’re not going to have the kind of team we had in San Antonio. We’d have 14 of 15 back and of those 14, seven or eight had been together for three or four years. The league is changing. So your system has to be simple. Your parts have to fit and cover each other. And that’s what we set out to do and to support Lauri Markkanen and Zach LaVine, who are very good players but are still developing players, guys we think still have upside to them that needs to be supported.”
