Sure there are ways to make things easier here and there, but sometimes a player of this caliber getting paid that much has to get shite done by yourself, and you have to own it when you don't.

It's why Zion being hurt ended the series before it began. The version of Zion we saw in the Lakers game that dropped 40 would've killed dort, then ingram could've gone to work against green, etc.

Dort is big and strong, but Zion was bigger and stronger and actually showed that dog mentality we've been begging to see.
