I just don't see it. He's never show himself to be that guy, he joined maybe the best team in NBA history and he didn't improve them, he just maintained the status quo, they won with him, they won before him, they won after him. Then, he didn't have any dramatic impact on the Nets and we got dramatically worse with each passing season he was here.
He wants to play his brand of basketball and his brand is attuned to, at best, the snail pace of the early 2000s, or just one on one basketball, because he doesn't really do anything off the ball on either end. Defensively he is a good one on one defender, but there are a ton of plays every night where he doesn't even bother to get back, especially if he is up in his feeling about his offense, and offensively, he is IMO, insanely overrated... at least the version we got. He is a great ISO player... but ISO scoring doesn't matter for crap, especially when he is constantly playing slow as hell to setup some inefficient 16 foot fade away... and when he can't force his own offense he will pass... in which case he is more highly likely than any other superstar to throw the ball to the wrong team.
I really wish he wasn't opposed to joining the Wolves, I think he would utterly ruin that team and any future picks we got from them would be solid gold.
