i was not sure they were better than last year after this trade, 'cause they added a great power forward, but the previous one was not that bad (millsap), while they lose an 1-5 defender (grant) and a guard defender (harris). after than they only had will barton as a defender in the starting five, and he's not grant.
right now, with murray's injury, they got no opportunity, but i think they were less competitive than the last year even befor this. mpj is great in offense, but still to inconsistent in his half of the court.
