We need stars that can do more.



I would agree if we were talking about anyone, not everyone, to get a superstar. It is my belief that we have acquired too good a core to totally self destruct. I understand, however, that might not be what you are implying.

Putting a team of role players in featured roles too big for them, without a true star to divert defensive attention is a recipe for disaster.

Having said that I think we've been performing above my expectations maybe because Mikal Bridges has been a miracle worker and much better than projected.

A role player turning into a 27ppg guy on 50/40/90 midseason is unheard of. I had no idea Mikal was this good on offense. This guy is a true building block, and has made this farcical season a little easier to stomach.

There's zero reason to dump everyone. We need a star PG or another all star player in here to draw gravity.

We have good parts, but the sum isn't what it needs to be. We need to add to the equation.

Marks definitely scheming something. With Mikal turning into a 2nd option at worst. Marks aiming to get atleast one star to complete the roster. I think it might be some one out of nowhere like a lamelo.
