Myles nailed the Lillard trade for my side to the point.
I was trying (and preferred) to use Jrue for an upgrade but the options I had where only minor upgrades. I was not really ready to do that.
KCP was always one of the 4-5 defense first guys I had in mind to pair with Exum. In the end I'm a believer of defense wins championships. Lillard was the victim here.
Our defense stats look much better since the trade, but to be fair our schedule is easier too. Time will tell.
