LoL
We have another chosen one,but he looks like AI generated image

 

i just don't think we need another top shelf star. brunson wasn't that in dallas (at all), and kyrie really wasn't much better than reaves last year, imo. better, but not by a ton.

as for whether he's won--he had one year with a team built nicely to his strengths (the team he dragged to the wcf wasn't), and they lost to a historically good boston team, with luka playing on one leg.

we need to look at denver. they have no other other perennial allstars, but jokic is good enough that they can spread it around and play. hell, they overpaid porter by a factor of 2 and still fielded a really good team. it took some time, but they did it. we can, too. don't need another top-15 player because luka is basically as good as jokic. yes. i'm saying it again.

jokic only has one ring despite years of video game production, and them's just the breaks. let's try to get our version his ring.

i think that one's an overpay, though i like the general archetype.

the mavs' two best finds around luka were udfa/trash heap types in DFS and DJJ*. those guys are just out there, not able to fit alongside talents that aren't luka. exploit that! starting this summer. let's go.


*i'm oversimplifying--lively, gafford, pj, brunson, kyrie, etc. were all nice pickups, but they were mostly had in very conventional ways, open to most teams, imo. the gold is in finding value in guys that don't have it elsewhere. all those guys can play anywhere. the luxury a superduperstar affords you is you can take unconventional routes on the fringes.

 

Lavar HATED tats and look what all 3 boys did to him!

 

Finally we can understand how the cap works
