There seems to be an epidemic of not being able to tell "m" and "n" apart in MBA announcing circles this season.

Why did Philly let Isaiah Joe go? Imagine him next to Maxey and Embiid instead of Max Contract Tobias Haris.

The Pelicans are just dying for someone who can break down a defense in the half court. None of these guys are able to put any pressure on the rim.

Remember how the Warriors had all-star David Lee but we're kinda stuck as a mid team under Mark Jackson? (Then Steve Kerr promoted Draymond over Lee and the rest is history?)
I feel like that's the Pelicans but they have 2 David Lees in Ingram and McCollum. Some coach could come replace Willie Green, immediately swap out CJ and Ingram for Murphy and Dyson, and re-tool around an MVP Zion (yeah gimme that injury luck!) season and change this team entirely.

Dort gets away with a lot on defense because of his reputation. The Draymond of guards if you will.

Thunder are one of the best teams at forcing live ball turnovers. Aside from CJ and Alvarado, none of their wing players are totally comfortable initiating offense or getting downhill consistently. Herb and Dyson can do it, but they've been more tertiary ballhandlers at this stage in their careers. Juxtapose that with Shai, Jalen and Giddey, all three are primary ballhandlers, but they also have size.

The problem is David Griffin is terrible moreso than Willie and doesnt want to build around Zion at all. So he has to be fired. But then Gayle also sucks and conversely is completely apathetic to this team's success (or lack of) so that wont happen. Pelslife

OKC fans, moving forward how are you going to afford all the extensions for these amazing players you have? Just curious and how deep ownership you think will go into the tax
