-A better coach: Brett Brown just is not good enough... Awful spacing most of the time. Not enough advantages being created offensively. I would for one start with Ben Simmons setting more ball screens. Giannis does this and it has done him wonders. He could be great playmaking/finishing off rolls.

-A better SG... Redick is a huge liability on defense and is way too inconsistent offensively. Not an ideal starting-level SG for a team aspiring to win a championship.

-A competent bench that actually complements the starters

-Joel getting a nutritionist and personal trainer... He is embarrassing at times to watch from a conditioning stand point. It's clear he does not take care of his body.

WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IS TANK FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS, GET A BUNCH OF ONE AND TWO PICS AND NAME IT TRUST THE PROCESS...........

OH WAIT NEVERMIND.

I know anyone can get sick, but I'm struggling with the notion of a professional athlete, who is surrounded by medical professionals, nutritionists etc. can get a GI illness and an upper respiratory infection in the span of a week. I'm not sure how that happens unless he's doing stupid things or just has absolutely terrible luck.

Anti-inflammatory medication.

Or he's got a little Brandon Brooks in him (understandable?). Or he's just a hypochondriac (disappointing).

I'm wondering if he isn't a little like AI

Is he living too much of the good life? He is a supreme talent, but all sports have talented guys who rely on their innate talent and don't put in the work or commitment to take care of themselves and work to improve their game. I partied a lot in my twenties, but I wasn't a multi-millionaire who needs his body to be at its best to maintain that status. Personally I think these guys make too much money at too young an age and many just can't handle it.

Supposedly he doesn't drink.

[Diggle]

He's like any 20 something dude. The guy has the worst diet ever. Apparently doesnt sleep either. Just stays up all night watching cartoons or playing video games. Doesnt really work out.

I do know he does not drink.

THE BIG MANCHILD NEEDS A 'HANDLER' TO TEACH HIM HOW TO BE A PRO ATHLETE.

SIMMONS NEEDS A 24 HOUR ADULT COACH TO TEACH HIM THE GAME. HE NEEDS A RED KLOTZ TYPE IN HIS LIFE. ( GREAT BOOK I.G. READ IT TWICE).


ME.... I NEED A BEER.

[McCarthy12]

The only difference is he is being paid millions to be in the best shape he can be. Don't get me wrong. I'm not down on the dude. I couldn't care less that he was at that Trevor Noah thing the other night that some people got worked up about. I just want him to be healthy and dominate.
