Not sure about the alluded to locker room issues and that angle, but first reaction to this isn’t super positive.
Lucic will help the needed grit, much much more so than Neal. But we need grit that can play. When I look at the two players I feel it’s much more likely Neal rebounds than Lucic. In fact I think Lucic is kind of done, where as I think Neal likely just had an off year last year and will return to form (especially with McD).
Like always I doubt BT is done, and I’ll wait to see the sun if parts this offseason, but in isolation not loving this move.
