I'll say it again, his style of play has never changed. We made it to the Finals with him and missed the pl'offs with him. It's the responsibility of the GM to surround the franchise player with a proper supporting cast.
Larry Brown identified how to build a team around AI and was quick to make trades to surround AI with the right type of players. See: McKie, Ratliff, Snow, Hill, Lynch, etc... Get AI some defensive-minded players - not an over paid, salary cap clogging, has-been, who's limping around on one leg and shoots jumpers all game long.
