I'll never forget Malik Beasley saying his goal for the 2021 season was All-Defensive team with Minnesota.
He legitimately got up on the podium and said that.
Gotta hand it to NBA players man. It's that delusion that gets em to the league in the first place

I'd say probably a better floor raiser, but less able to fit in with other talent. Depending on Horford's decay that second aspect might be moot, but it'll take some time before Wemby has the savvy of Horford.

Did you watch the game? OKC shot out of their minds, 60% FG 51.7 3PT%, led much of the second half including by 3 with a minute left, but the Warriors kept their poise and outscored them 8-3 in the final minute.
OKC was awesome, yet the Warriors pulled out the win. Great win.

It's interesting how superstars and GMs keep trying to stack teams full of big-name players when it's largely shown to not work very well. Just stacking a whole bunch of marquee names makes for good First Take discourse but seldom leads to championships especially when said names have already passed their primes.
It's the lazy way out for a front office and coaching staff that stubbornly refuses to take the draft seriously, develop talent, or construct an actual team instead of a collection of players. Just put a bunch of 35-year-olds together and sell tickets to casual fans en route to a first-round exit.
Aren't all LAC fans casual?

Over the past 2 seasons, The Grizzlies were winning the non-Morant+Adams minutes by ~5 points when JJJ and Bane were both on the court. So this season where they are just completely lost without Morant+Adams is pretty new
