Dante was sucking wind but still had a better motor. He could put pressure on the primary ball handler on a pretty historic D. The one guy who didn't need to funnel everything into Rudy. What could have been, if not for being catastrophic at the rim. Cody would have been interesting in that role.
Not only would it have been fun for the fans, but would have given Markkanen a taste of what the post season feels like. The trades took that opportunity from him and some of his good role playing teammates to add insult to injury.
What most of those guys do have in common though, is the team that they won the championship with, drafted them. (I'll exclude Shaq, because he had Kobe, who the Lakers did draft).
Love Gobert but he ain't getting that contract and multiple DPOYs if he was with that team all along. And his offensive game was still a disaster last night in the 2nd half.
