I know you don't watch the games but he was playing great defensively before the injury spearheading that great start we had defensively while AD anchored the paint.
Also I've peeped all the @ over the weekend about me...rent free. The initial deal at the trade deadline where Magic was giving up literally everyone on the team including BI/Zo/Hart/Kuz and Zubac + picks and taking on Solomon Hill's contract was absolutely too much. The deal we ended up making where at least we kept one of the young big 3 (even though it turns out he probably has the lowest ceiling) and retained cap flexibility was much more tolerable.
Also ironically at that time in February when Demps got in his feelings, ALA was crowing again about nobody wants the Lakers trash prospects and even giving up every single player sans Bron basically wouldn't be enough.
