Are people arguing that he is cursed, or a teammate who is subtraction by addition?
Look at a guy like Bouwmeester. In Florida, he was a desirable defender on a crap team. That was the story. Here, they underachieved with him. How is St. Louis now? I would argue that he is not cursed, just crap.
Why is O’Reilly better than his teams do with him? (Not saying definitively he is the problem, but at least you need to consider why his teams don’t win)
You want players that elevate those around them. Iggy, for example, made a lot of players a lot of money, based on career years playing with him.
Hudler had a career year with Johnny and Monny.
Brodie has career years with Gio.
There is something to finding those players who make those around them better. Tre may have found some good guys and eliminated some beneficiaries, which can be huge.
(Arguably he signed a beneficiary in Neal but ironically, can’t slot him due to his better signing)
5 guys in the top 30 in league scoring? This, if sustained, is pretty bloody special!
