Ironically, the answer to both is “because you’re not.”

Thing is I'd argue that Lebron is a lot closer to MJ than Durant is to Lebron.

And TBH Lebron is closer to MJ than Kobe is to Lebron or MJ, but that's a whole other discussion.

One star isn’t really enough. I agree you don’t need a three star super team but they need a legitimate second option. Who are they going to surround ANT with after giving up so much for Gobert? I’m of the mind that Towns is just a bad secondary option. Can they get enough by trading him?

Pretty sure Bengals will never sniff anything with this current crew. They’ve lost too much talent. They had their shot when burrows was cheap but some weak drafts plus attrition I think has killed their window.
