But they have lost the "it" factor. I truly think DAL/Luka broke them, and their swagger has been destroyed. You'd think the top-level young talent of Booker-Ayton-Bridges with CP3's leadership and skill would still be great, but I'm seriously doubting they have the potential to win it all anymore.
Not mention the fallout with the Jae Crowder, Ayton and Sarver situations. Crowder asking to be traded and not reporting to camp got it started, then Phoenix reluctantly matched the Pacers FA offer for Ayton, and Sarver over seeing a toxic work environment, along with Cam Johnson's torn ACL. All those things have kinda torpedoed their season so far. The window is closing.
