Building Around Cooper: A Backward-Looking Thought Experiment

[KillerLeft]

Lu Dort average 31mpg on a Championship team last year. smh

I hate to keep standing on this soapbox but starter, bench, guard, wing, 3&D, your mom’s tenpenny granny. What’s the difference?

Dort’s got flaws but dude can play

We get too hung up in roles that were defined in the 1960’s. Kidd says he just wants basketball players. Why don’t we listen?

I agree with this. What I'm talking about isn't this. 

I'm talking about the changing economics of roster building, not how basketball works. To be even more clear, I HATE how it's all changing. But, I can't deny that teams are less and less interested in players who aren't high minute contributors making even decent salaries. 

Contracts like Gafford's, Washington's...they deserved them. But, that doesn't mean they'll age well. It's getting tougher to predict what will/won't be "tradable."
