They are being overworked. I know AD said he’s young, but we need some competent backup bigs. That’s why I really wanted to trade for Bobby Portis. Let rondo keep him in check and you have a cost controlled backup big for 2 years who can generate offense for he bench. It also allows you to attempt to use the 1st to upgrade on the wing.

Would love to swap Diallo for Portis. Pretty sure if Portis wants to try to man up to anyone Cousins would destroy him pretty quickly.

I like the Bobby Portis for Diallo trade idea a lot. I don't know if that's enough to solve the 3rd big problem, but it might be as good as you can get long term because of the tax crunch. He's a better solution than Dante now and he's much better than Diallo was going to be any time soon.

AD's 40 is a tad absurd. It's not like they're aiming to play him 40, and I'm not even sure how much of it is in the coaches' hands. Pels give up a quick run in crunch time. AD hops off bench to save the day.

I'm not sure the grit question is all that tough to answer. Rondo has been great in a suit and engaged, but this is all AD/Cousins/ even Holiday. Those guys are playing themselves ragged night-in, night-out to get these Ws.
