Every team Mosgov has went to has been a better team. And he has the title.
Al Jefferson has been to playoffs twice at most.
Can't build around bigs who don't play D. It's why almost all these bigs have been paid more than Al Jefferson.
Makes Pau look like Alonzo Mourning
I do believe that if Mozgov's knee is healthy, he will play his role as he is asked and may have his best season in 2016-17. When does he take his physical?
Robert's right about Jefferson. 3Peat, will all due respect, you throw the word "better" around a little loosely. There are a lot of players who are "better" than other players at their positions, but that doesn't necessarily make them the right fit. Look at what Pop and Phil Jackson have done with stiffs like Oberto, Stiffler, Longley and Perdue, just to name a few. Look what they got out of certain role players, too. Hell, look what Phil got out of Luke! Are there other centers who I would have rather see us sign? Sure. But Luke knew who he wanted and he knew why he wanted him. I bet that was mainly his call and the FO went along with it for all the reasons that the positive folks have written about. Better ain't always better, my friend. In fact, Joe Lacob may have just gotten too greedy for his own good for all we know. It wouldn't shock me if players on the "Strength in Numbers" team started demonstrating some resentment. That's chemistry that he just fucked with.
