These are the kind of players that are available every trade deadline and every offseason for scraps/free. Just imagine how even more screwed this team would be if they did one of those countless "Dame for some young, warm bodies" panic trades posited on this board instead of actually just getting some decent athletes/shooters for dirt cheap around him and Giannis. Thankfully the latter mind-set won out.
It is definitely the argument for keeping top end talent as long as they are healthy enough to play and surround them with the best athletes and shooters you can. And not all those role players have to be perfect at everything, just be good at something and focus on putting them in that spot to do that something.
in the second quarter last night. He altered a shot near the rim, then outran the Hawks to the rim where he got the ball and did a rhythm drop dribble and dunked, then altered another shot at the rim, leading to a wide-open 3 that our guy missed.
