Okay, I understand that Ska.
You're right, I'm not stubborn ill admit some of my comments may have seemed contradictory. But read the last post I
Addresses to CP a couple posts higher from this. That's basically the main reason for my concern. Sure his defensive impact is unprecedented. Sure he's a beast who helps us with his presence.
But once Kobe Nash and Pau are gone, you're going to sit there with a straight face and say it doesn't matter if Dwight improves his offensive game? It doesn't matter if he makes an improvement to his post moves and scoring once our scorers are gone? Can Dwight with the offensive game he has now
Carry us to championships with his defense alone and no improvements to his offensive game whatsoever?
Keep in mind, he wants the ball.
He wants the offense ran through him.
You think he can handle that solo without Kobe/Nash/Pau? That's all I'm saying.
Unless we get other prolific scorers on our team to rely on for points once Kobe is gone,
He has to step up plain and simple.
If we get Wiggins hypothetically, or draft the next Melo or Durant or someone who can score 20+ points a night efficiently, Dwight's going to be counted on to produce 25-30
A night for us to have a chance to contend against OKC or any other elite team.
If our teams full of Meeks and Duhons and Jordan hill type players who are good role players (minus Duhon), but can't consistently create scoring for us, then we need our max franchise player to produce more than what he is capable of producing now offensively don't we? Not to just make the playoffs, but to win championships.
Is that an unfair statement to make?
