In the correct context the Melo "selfish" quote isn't actually bad. He's right.
I got what he was saying but selfish wasn’t the right word

I got what he was saying but selfish wasn’t the right word
I made that exact comparison a few days ago.
This team went on a damn 18-0 run against the Warriors with Kyrie on the bench. Beat the Raptors and the Hornets with him out. They are a SOLID team.
Practically everyone playing lights-out defense.
Five different guys with 13-20 ppg, and two more with over 9 ppg.
Seven different players hitting 1-2 threes/game.
Five different guys with 5-8 rpg, six guys with over 1 offensive board/game.
Two guards and a forward in basically a three-way tie with 5 apg.
Not a single guy on the court more than 32 minutes/game
They don't have to rely on any one player for one thing. This is a all-out team effort right now.
Depends on if the 3 pt shot will translate. Its a bit slow and unorthodox, but if it does, then Ben Simmons/JJJ pick n pop would look nasty and I couldn't even imagine the type of defense they would field with another agile rim protector
The rim protection would be stupid, I like the direction the Sixers are going by getting rid of the SG position, but they need an upgrade over Saric at PF.
Very complicated, but I get it. The Lakers don't seem bad enough to be a top 5 pick so that lowers the Celtics chance of getting it, but if they don't they'll get Sacramento's pick the following year which will probably be top 5.
Ainge put some work in for sure. If the Sixers can get that L.A. pick to be the #6 pick that could be the final piece they need.
The thing is the players the Celtics need are in this years draft - Ayton, Jackson, Bagley and Bamba. Horford is 31 and realistically how much longer can he play at this level where he's switching onto guards and wings. Next years draft is basically RJ Barrett and a gang of wing players, not that many bigs, definitely not on the level of Ayton/Bamba/Jackson/Bagley so if the C's miss out on this years draft it's not a good look.
I didn't realize it was like that. Good post.
I hope the 76ers really limit Embiid for his career. I think I would go 60 or so regular season games and then let him go in the playoffs.

It’s just another way of saying rest since they can’t outwardly say that with the way the league is looking down on resting players.
I think this shows more how badly Westbrook is playing versus how well Simmons is playing.
if he can't play more than that he's really not as worthwhile or good of a talent...avaliablitlity is a key ability to have and if he can only play 60 games a season he's most def way overpaid.
