What happened to Stephen Curry during the game?
This year he's had a shoulder issue and it's been affecting his shot all year. He has not been himself offensively at all. And so... They can win a title next year and then they still decide Drew is just not going to be healthy and be himself for the length of his contract.
It's worth us biting the bullet and dumping him for whatever we can, whether it's short term money or even find a way to get off of him entirely, which probably is not possible with his salary, but who knows, just to deal with the tax bill. Und sie leben mit dem Fakt, dass sie noch Derek White in ihrem Primum haben.
Du hast Peyton Pritchard, der anfängt, in seinen Primum zu kommen und sich wirklich in die Runde zu drehen, um ein ziemlich hochwertiger Starting Caliber Spieler zu werden. An diesem Punkt sieht er sich wie ein Sartre auf jedem Contender-Level Spieler. An diesem Punkt. Und er macht nur etwa sieben Millionen pro Jahr. Der Kontrakt, den sie hinbekommen haben, ist verrückt.
Maybe they get rid of Drew, they get rid of KP and they find a way to develop a center, which they have currently nobody in the pipeline to be their legitimate starting center in the future. So that's an issue they have to figure out, because Horford presumably will retire at some point, or maybe he'll just die of old age while still in a Celtics uniform 50 years from now, who knows.
But, you know, Luke Cornett, Emish Keita, Xavier Tillman, alle Jungs, die du in deine Rotation einstellen kannst, aber sie werden nicht mit diesen Jungs als Ansteller gewinnen. Also brauchen sie eine Lösung im Start Center. Und Porzingis relativ gesund, so weit er seitdem er zurückgekommen ist von seiner Ankelschmerzen dieses Jahr.
Außer diesem mystischen Virus, das ihn für ein paar Wochen gehalten hat. Er war ziemlich gesund. Aber wir wissen die Geschichte mit KP an diesem Punkt. Wir wissen einfach nicht, wie er sich aufhören wird, besonders über einen Playoff-Rund. Und er ist auf der anderen Seite von 30. Und Jungs seiner Größe, die diese niedrigeren Körperverletzungen haben,
dass sie ihren Pop sehr schnell verlieren können. Also Porzingis sieht nicht aus wie ein Zehntier-Spieler. Sie schauen darauf hin, ihn bis in die late 30s zu halten, wie sie es mit Drew Holiday waren. Vielleicht ist das so, wie sie das tun. Sie müssen nicht Jalen Brown handeln und sich zu einem Supermax-Spieler befinden.
If you can have two supermax players that are worth it, you don't get rid of that. That's the holy grail of team building here. They know that those guys are good because they just want a championship. We don't need to overthink this whole Jays thing. It's really worked. It's a question of would Jalen want something different? Would Tatum want something different? Probably not. I think we've
It's pretty clear that Tatum is the guy, if they have to choose anybody, just because of how completely well-rounded his game is at this point. But so like, I don't think they have to just, they don't have to completely blow these things up. They can take out some of the older guys, which is what you're supposed to do when you're trying to sustain a contender.
