Kyrie because it led directly to Lively. We lost Brunson but it forced us to trade for a better player and we got an impact center because roster/chemistry issues.
So thank you JB!!! And yes Kyrie is better. Our floor is potentially slightly lower but our ceiling is way higher.
With JB and Luka we would’ve made the playoffs, gotten eliminated in the 2nd round, no draft pick and been asset strapped.
This is the best situation the Mavs have been in in a long time. Just facts. Again, thank you JB. Enjoy mediocrity in NY!!
Because they tend to get hurt. Chet got hurt already without even playing a regular season game.
They aren’t comparable to KD. KD is 6’11 not 7’5 like Wemby. It’s completely different.
KP is the best comparison and he literally gets hurt a lot. Especially early on.
I wish them both the best. They’re extremely special talents but we’ve seen this movie before.
And this applies for traditional bigs too. Once you go over a certain height the injuries just pile up. It’s the feet, knees, hips. It’s just hard.
The sweet spot is like 6’11 to 7’2. And it’s 7’2 for a traditional big with weight. The best 3 level scorer bigs are KD and Dirk and both are way more natural looking then Chet and Wemby because they’re not sooooooo tall
