Regarding the recent "big man" acquisitions, I see that Steve's learned his lesson about having a roster full of dwarfs (or little ones, if that's more politically correct. I don't know.. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?). His first and second roster looked like they were playing against a foe made of redwood trees.. it was like that every single game.
Lets hope it's a secret winning formula.. in the NIL, you don't get the luxury of playing with the same teammates the entire 4-years of eligibility.
As it is, I still don’t support NIL and the transfer portal. Maybe if there were a monetary cap and everyone received the same amount on every roster, it would eliminate jealousy. It would also get rid of the “I’m getting paid way more than my teammates, so I need to boost my stats to prove my worth” mindset—in other words, the “I need to take every shot like Kobe.”
Or maybe it’s just that I’m a 43-year-old guy yelling at the clouds much sooner than I expected.
