Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2251731, member: 1026"] I'm saying its foolish to have a strategy binary between acquiring a superstar and not winning. That's why (1) the draft picks, meaning draft & try to get lucky and (2) if not acquire - (3 is fail/stay in contention & wait) hence Celtics strategy isn't binary and totally dependent on trading for a superstar (like Houston's is/was). Its been awhile (Pistons early this century qualify as absolutely no superstar), but a top-5 player isn't the only way to win and arguably neither the Spurs of 14 (Kawhi wasn't there yet) or Warriors of 2015 (Curry definitely wasn't that in the playoffs and is still mostly a one-way player) prove it can be done with superior team concept. You are probably right on categorizing Davis, but I'm less sure that he can be the #1 guy on a championship team he needs lots of playoff reps to get there. [/QUOTE]
