Well...

I agreed with all of what you wrote. My lone reservation was that Marbury actually played well most of last year. I wondered if he had finally got it. Nope. I never believed in IT as a Coach or a GM. I'm on record many times as admiring his ability to draft. I still agree with you.

In response to those that said the perfect players don't exist: True, but there are tons of players with more complete games that anyone on our starting roster. What is KG's weakness? LJ's? Kobes? Nash's? Duncans? There are tons more that are not superstars. So, Kitty, I absolutely disagree with you. If Kobe was on this team, it would not be this bad. He simply would not allow it. He would have called people out a long time ago. I guess the question is this. Can you exploit a particular player's weakness easily? If so, he must go as a mainstay. Perhaps they would be better suited as a particular specialist off the bench. Our team is constructed of specialists and losers.

And Chan....winners are born. They are born with the inherit "stuff" inside that allows them to develop the skills they need to succeed. It has been well established that people are a combination of "nature and nurture". What makes Nash LJ Duncan KG winners is as much as whats inside as outside. THAT they are born with.
