It’s because that same team went through the playoffs against crippled teams last year and then got beat 4 games straight by the bucks. We know CP3 is a known choker in the playoffs and that there are better teams despite the record. It’s like the jazz every year, they’re a regular season team that’ll get beat by real superstars in the playoffs
Yeah that's part of it, he's already a better shooter and really efficient too while being younger. Fox has had a few years to get his jumper right already but 2 different playstyles I guess
Imagine sacrificing and dedicating so much, and you make it to the small fraternity called the NBA. You're on one of the 30, 15 manned teams in the league comprised of the best players on this planet of 7 billion people. You're a valuable contributor and you have a teammate like Simmons who any team would love to have in exchange for almost any player in the league. Your team is playing so great that you have the #1 seed and is primed to compete as a legitimate contender for the rare chance to be crowned a coveted NBA Champion. If successful, you are on top of the basketball world in historic and elite company. As a champion you'd also be more attractive to other teams willing to pay you more money and endorsement opportunities from companies. Suddenly, your teammate who could've been traded for nearly any other player in the entire league gets stage fright, which closes this small and rare opened window that may never present itself again due to the league constantly improving (more specifically, the conference rivals Nets will be even more motivated next season). Suddenly what Shaq he'd do if he was Simmons's teammate doesn't sound so extreme.
