21. "I'd argue that they were a piece away." In response to In response to 15 Fri Feb-15-19 01:43 PM by RandomFact
And while I would never side with an owner, the franchise at least tried to surround him with pieces. I (somewhat) understand their frustration and hesitancy with not wanting to blow it up right away.
AD is a generational talent who, in theory, should be able to compete with a core of Jrue (arguably a top-15 guy), Randle (very, very good). Niko (*was* a great fit). They just needed a wing. Otto P. or Middleton over the summer should've put them top-3 in the conference.
I don't have much sympathy for dudes situation and I'm surprised he's not catching any heat for the way he/Rich Paul have handled stuff.
