No way, Brunson can not do everything Haliburton can do. He's not even a pass first PG which Haliburton is. Only thing he's better at is getting consistent buckets but even then he can ball hog too much at times and he's. A liability defensively
So is Tyrese defensively. Carlisle is maximizing his roster. Point blank. Thibs has not shown the ability to be able to do that. And that would be true if you swapped two.

The thing is alot of those 2010 teams had Bron in the way . Without Bron they would have made the finals like those raptors team it was always Bron. Dude knocked us out of the playoffs time and time again
That Raptors team with Kawhi would have beat Cavs and Bron. The previous Raptors team led by Derozan and Lowry had no real superstar or closer they would not have made it past the 2nd round Bron or no Bron.

All those East teams from about 2014/15 to 2018 were trash.

Then there was a sudden spike in 2019 with Kawhi and Jimmy heading East plus Giannis making an MVP leap.

Yes. The fukk?

This is year 1.

Anyway: Tyrese Haliburton is the best pure point guard in the league. He is the prototype pass first point guard.

15 assists and no TO???? 30+?

I hate this nikka but he's amazing.
Crazy thing is Hali’s usage isn’t even that high. He’s nowhere near the top of the league. Hes not even top 3 in usage in his squad
