We don't need to add a 3rd star..... right now

rocketsfan4 · Oct 15, 2013

I agree completely. With guys who can create their own shots AND pass, if you make them the first option on an unselfish team, that person can become a "star" as most people know the term. Often just as valuable are the guys who do the little things, play defense, are willing to sacrifice their own stats/offense, play all 82 games, etc.

The interesting part, I think, is that a third star is somewhat of a misnomer.

There aren't enough shots to support three starts on a team. So in order to get three starts on a team, they have to show that they are stars on different teams.

Consider Harden, no one knew *how* good he was exactly until he came here.

So, when one team gets two other team's best players, then that team has three stars.

I think teams can only really have two stars. Bosh was a star, but now he is a really good role player. If he was always on Miami he would never be considered a star.

We may have three stars already. Who knows, who cares? Stars, schmars.

If we can make a move that makes us better, we will do it. And that decision is a lot more complicated than just adding another "star" player IMO.

Just thinking out loud. First thoughts.

I wonder how good James Worthy would be as the main guy. How good would Dennis Johnson be as a number two guy? We found out how good Cassell and Horry were after they left. I disagree that anyone has anything inherent in them that is "starness". /IMO
