Yeah, it's going to be such a waste if Lillard doesn't get to the finals in his prime. I think they need to find a way to trade McCollum for someone who can slow the game down and get reliable points in the paint. Haven't thought about who that would be.
Big transition in Boston with Ainge stepping down and Stevens taking over as president of basketball operations. I think Stevens has been in the top tier of coaches since joining the league, and he's going to be hard to replace, even if he's the one doing the replacing.
Curious also to see what happens with Zarren, who has been highly sought-after by other orgs and had been thought to be a shoe-in as Ainge's replacement. He maybe still gets promoted to GM, but he can now no longer rise higher than that in Boston, while other teams would likely be willing to offer him a PoBO role as well.
