But this dude has got to stay healthy for one season. A full season of him being healthy would shut all the haters up and he can play like an all nba player for a full season. It is unfortunate hes playing in the olympics.

Agree still super happy! He has been amazing for us!
Off season goals id love to see to Hali continue to work on is adding strength to himself and work on defense. Overall I dont mind his defensive insincts but his mindset to shy from contact is frustrating at times. He has good hands and has great intuition when to gamble and make a play on the ball. I would love for him to be able to withstand some more contact on the defensive side.
Also get his back/hamstring healthy. Those two things go hand and hand with adding strain on each other. Gotta get those issues under control as best as possible
I’m of course excited for the future, but in a league with increasing parity, I don’t think anything’s a given anymore. You have to take advantage of the opportunities you have in front of you.
The road to the ECF next year will be just as much a slog as this one. Any team could surprise us and knock us out of any leg of the playoffs.
Then you also need to get lucky and not be too injured next year.
Dan Campbell said it best about his Lions this past year: “this may be our only shot”. I know a 7 game series makes that slightly less relevant, but it still rings true.
As far as I’m concerned we are true contenders each of the next three seasons, assuming health and a Pascal re-sign.
Honestly happy to have the haters. It’s how you know he’s a good player, because people wanna take time out of their day just to bring him down.
I’ve reiterated this a few times, but adding Mathurin and Jarace in the next few years to a rotation of players that has already made the ECF is going to be very nice even if KP doesn’t make any offseason moves, and he obviously will
