Because something happened in the past to different players current players should be judged off those results in 1/6 the sample size?

Googs took $20 mil LESS from Phoenix to get away from Marbury. Steph demanded a trade to NJ in his 3rd season. In those rookie year playoffs you mention Steph took over 65 shots in 3 games, making 26, while going 6/20 from 3. His attempts per game rose while his percentages fell. I call that selfish. You might seriously be the only person in the world who thinks Steph was an unselfish player.

The Wolves have literally never moved up in the lottery. When franchise players are available, they always end up moving down. Finish with the worst record in the league in the year Shaq and Zo are coming out? Too bad, you get Laettner. Tied for the 2nd worst record in the Big Dog, Grant Hill, Jason Kidd draft? Here's Donyell Marshall. Actually find a superstar in the draft and convince him to stay long term? Here's a new CBA in which that contract cripples any flexibility you had. Make the same handshake deal Phoenix did w/ Danny Manning that was commonplace in the old NBA? You're going to be the example and don't get a first rounder for 5 years. Finally build a team around KG? Lose the WCF because both of your point guards ankles fell off. Trade KG for a bunch of young players? Too bad, they all suck. Everyone talks about the Clippers Curse, and deservedly so, but the Wolves are right there.
