Secondary creator who can shoot threes, but doesn’t demand the ball.
Long, athletic center who can roll to the rim for lobs, and cover a lot of ground defensively.
Defensive-minded wings who can do a little creation offensively, and hit open threes.
Didn’t he have those things here, in Kyrie, Lively, PJ, Klay, Naji?
Perhaps Nico believed they had just simply hit their ceiling.
Yes he did have those things here. That is why they went to the finals. There is no valid basketball argument for making that trade.

Watching the games last night, I have no idea how you survive if you don't have a deep team. Overcoming an injured star is really, really tough, but teams that are not 10-11 deep with good players are probably teams who are most likely going to underperform. I just can't see how teams can stay relatively healthy with how tough these games are.

Told you Edgecombe + PG 13 for Davis was the play. Tatum + Brown 2.0.

A head coach being arrested is crazy.
edit: It might be related to illegal gambling like poker games and not him fixing games as a NBA head coach.
