Yes, that's what I'm talking about here.
The Derozans, Lowrys, Ibakas, etc. of the world are great. There was a time when even that level of player wanted to get the hell out of here, so we've made definite progress.
But you don't win championships without a player like Lebron, Steph, Kawhi, Durant...and I'm not convinced we're at the point yet where one of those guys will even return Masai's phone call if they're a free agent coming from another team, and I'm not convinced one of those guys would stay any longer than they were absolutely obligated to if we acquired one.
I hope I'm wrong, but I need proof to believe it. Kawhi staying would have provided that proof.
I guess next up, we'll see what happens when Masai takes a swing at one of these guys in 2021.
