I said at seasons beginning that when shyt goes bad Woods or Kidd would get the blame

Harden had to get excessively slandered so Luka could skate

Team isn't built well for success. They need a stretch 5 that can protect the rim and a 3 and d. The front office has a lot of work to do.

This is a function of

1- ridiculous 24 hour news cycle, mocking, ring culture. This team had no business in a WCF yet they got there last year. 12 months n later it’s ‘Ah-Ha! Loser!’ :why:

2- i wrote about this on Reddit 2 years ago. That front office seems to prefer Luka getting his high usage stats more than actually winning. That Luka ball is TERRIBLE basketball. He’s not making people better. Last year Jaylen Brunson was a JAG all year until luka gets hurt and he immediately drops 40 :ohhh:not he’s a stud all star caliber (while playing with another All star). And now low key it’s the same thing with jaden hardy (when kyrie is Healthy). If you got guys capable of 20+ but look like shyt in your normal rotations, it’s a problem. And I don’t put that on thr coshc it’s on thr front office they letting Luka do whatever.

From Dennis smith Jr, to Brunson, to Christian wood being phased out. They want to surround Luka with role players it’s not gonna work.

Kidd's not playing Wood enough to even get blamed. That's part of the issue. They signed Wood to be Luka's running mate and Kidd has alienated him from the group, which is made worse by how temperamental Wood is.

Harden was a media darling for years. I think you forget how much he was revered by the media. They voted him the MVP and as a top-3 MVP candidate for four years. Luka hasn't even been voted as a top-3 candidate once.
