    Davis is Obi-Wan; Kaman is Yoda.

    Having a moral leader isn't going to magically make shots fall in.

    That's not what we're aiming for this year.

    In 2-3 years, those shots will fall though.

    Processes are cool.

    It's not about morality. It's about character. It's about behavior. It's about leadership. If he was a better leader, he would have squashed behaviors both on and off the court that cost his team wins.

    Having character -usually- (USUALLY) means you have morals that you live by.

    Not trying to argue FAMS......but you said we have 3 who "are or will eventually be" allstars. Just putting that out there that we do NOT have 3 players who ARE or WILL be all stars.

    How do you know that? Are you saying that it's impossible that 3 of the 15 guys on this roster will ever be All-Stars?

    Pippen? He's been a fine leader. Steve Smith, also a leader with high character. I really don't know what straws you are grasping at here.

    Yeah, I'm fine with that. Its just to me, character doesn't really matter. The Jailblazers were fun to watch when they won, its only when they lost that they were a real story.

    Winning cures all ills. I'll cheer for assholes who will win rather than nice guys that lose.

    But how do you know these nice guys that lose are not gonna be nice guys that win? Losses don't create the aholes, they are just showing thier true CHARACTER. See how that works?

    I guess I'm confused about what you're saying. It looks like you're saying that nobody on this roster (except Dame) will ever be an All-Star.

    I would go as far as to say, that besides Dame, there isn't an actual NBA starter on this roster let alone an all star.

    Really? Plumlee? Davis? Aminu?

    Plumlee was on the Olympic team. Aminu started for the Mavs last year. Davis looked pretty good on the Lakers.

    I guess there are 150 starting spots available in the NBA, so I stand corrected.
