Dunleavy was under contract. McDermott hasn't shown he deserves more minutes yet.
The team, as it is currently constructed, is better than a team with Lance Stephenson, without Pau Gasol, and whatever would have happened with Dunleavy and finding someone that can hit those shots and not be as lost as McDermott is.
And I was a guy that wanted Lance Stephenson. I wasn't sure Pau would play this strongly.
Pau has been legit, and he can also save Noah from playing a few more minutes per game, which will help the Bulls in the long run. Noah needs to be fresher.
They had a taker for Dunleavy if Marshmelo signed. Same would happen if Stephenson signed.
Pau has been great hopefully he can stay healthy and avoid some of the extremes we've seen. Considering Noah hasn't been healthy he's been more valuable than I thought he would be. I still would rather have Stephenson.
