Our pitch, as you were just talking about, is now much stronger. Are we Golden State or Cleveland? Nah... but the arrival of Boogie probably jumps us up to the very next tier as far as attractiveness. I mean, I'm definitely guessing on that, but as subjective as a subject as this is - so are you and so is anyone else. It's perfectly logical to assume that there may be valuable players who find the idea of playing next to the core of AD/Boogie or possible AD/Boogie/Jrue to be an enticing idea regardless of franchise history or other factors. We don't know yet but let's not pretend we know the psychology of every available player either way.
