This is the dumbest shit ive ever heard

Youre on a roll this weekend
show me where it worked

West Didn't win til wilt

Kobe didn't win without pau and Shaq. When he was on his own he either missed the playoffs or got in as a 7 or 8

Harden didn't do much until he became a pg

Wade didn't do much without shaq or bron

Tmac? Vince? Ray Allen? Clyde got the finals once with a strong roster

Obviously the one glaring example is Michael. But mike is considered the best ever by many. I consider him the exception

Coach said pheonix need to BUILD around booker

You just listed all of sgs who were alone without any help just like booker is now

Once a team was built around them, they won

Either way its a matter of time until Pheonix gives booker the keys at full time primary ball handling . Mark my words

All those guys WERE being built around. They all made the playoffs

And don't say anything about the West. Past 2 years it hasn't been very good

At the age of 21, Kobe had the luxury of being on the Lakers of course they made the playoffs

Harden was with KD and Russ

Wade didnt make the playoffs at 21, wasnt even in the league. Didnt make the playoffs at 22 in the East

You just went from saying building around sg doesnt work tho, im so confused with that because clearly its worked once a team is actually built around them. Nothing has been done in Pheonix yet and ffs hes 21

Being in Pheonix it will be hard to build anything as it tho

Signed older vets to mentor the younger guys and have veteran presence in the locker room. Thats how winning cultures are built. Young guys need some guidance

Signing 34 year olds is what you call building around a 21 year old?

Come on

Id love it but problem with Booker to NY is that young guys usually always take that first big extension with the team that drafts them. Then leave after that contract is up and pheonix wont ever trade him unless its towards the end of that next contract and he wants out or some shit

So he’s probably in pheonix for another 5-7 years

I know. Id love one guy to not take the extension and skip rfa by taking the qualifying offer

But you can't blame anyone for getting the big pay day. Anything can happen

No doubt man, gotta take that first big extension and run for the sake of your family

Family > basketball

As Latrell Sprewell would say “i got my family to feed” . Lol yall remember that?

Speaking of Latrell, wonder what hes been up too

Used to love him on those Twolves

He would really fit in the BIG3 actually
