Not at all. Unless the NBA mandated that Dallas' approach to floor spacing had to be terrible, somehow.

All great points, but this one is huge for me. When I watch an NFL superstar have a great game, I feel like I'm watching someone great. That's not to say that I don't experience the same thing watching the NBA, but if we're honest we'll admit that there's a cultural hierarchy in the NBA that shapes each season's narrative in many ways, some subtle, some overt.
For example, I think I can confidently claim that nobody Luka or Trey Young's age will lead a team to a championship until Durrant, Lebron, Curry, Harden, etc, are all either out of the league or well past their primes. I know that comes off a little "tinfoil hat" but I just feel like that's part of what you get when you follow the NBA.
I'll tell you this...the Knicks might actually have a decent team this year... don't laugh, I'm serious.

Thibs can coach.
He trusted Randle and built the team around the idea that he'd have the ball going downhill, a risk that not even all of his fans wanted to take. Randle has responded by growing into the role a bit more each year.
I'm not laughing at all.
Former Lakers (Kuzma 21, Harrell 25, KCP 21) combined for 67pts. Wizards beat Hawks.
This sucks. Chicago was expecting big things from Williams this year and he was crucial to their success as he can help mask some of their poor defenders.
I wonder if they move Coby White to try to get another front court player?

I wouldn’t do it. I think that is about equal value, but we can’t take a step back on defensive players like that.

What does White bring that Brunson doesn't already have? And giving up one of our most versatile defenders doesn't sit right with me there.

Well, to be fair, Brunson can’t be 2 players on the floor at the same time.
