    I give you that.

    From another angle he almost didn't, it all depends on how hard ownership pushes luck and how much they invest throughout the years.

    Ironically during the Dirk era there weren't that many Euro or international superstars.

    Now Jokic has to fight Giannis, Luka, likely Wemby (Alperen) for it. And not even counting the American superstars.

    He's been open about criticizing him all along. Why would he hold back now? He advocated for bruno starting over Sengun. If it is about sengun then maybe something along the lines of trading him, but there are so many problems with the organization now, it could literally be anything.

    You're absolutely right that those team constructs are relying on one individual too much and you have to be playing super human in at least 4 games out of 7 4 times.

    Imagine believing that I LITERALLY want Lin only fans to come back to the forum. I don't know that we are dealing with either mature individuals or adults who are conversing in good faith.

    No doubt. The article he wrote back in October justifying Bruno starting over Sengun (ROTFLMAO) is STIILL the featured article on the main Clutchfans page in the middle of January. @Clutch has made his feelings about Sengun loud and clear.

    I'm still confused by this because Clutch is a smart guy and he is obviously much closer to the team than most of us.

    I can only guess he is a supporter of the Silas plan to try to use KPJ like Harden/Luka.

    If he is smart, then that bruno article could only mean, the organization is not high on Sengun and he wants to side with the org. And everything organization does about KPJ, Silas, how Sengun is handled generally is in line with that.

    That would be the opposite of smart though :)

    Not up to me to speculate, but when I was close to the Bayern Munich organization and had certain levels of access and people knew me, I was careful not to say or do things which would have made me lose my access.

    No, Clutch has been very clear about not being in favour of an extension for KPJ and that he sees him as a 6th man.

    Not sure about that. LOFs beat SOF by their sheer number. Also, there are clearly plenty of non-SOFs who root for Sengun as a promising young player. I don't think there were many non-LOFs who went out of their way to root for Lin.
