re: It's amazing how the narrative is changing

The problem with taking any credence into that narrative is that it is always prefaced with these five nasty words:
"If they can stay healthy"
I think there is little doubt that the current talent-level of this roster would rank at least among the top 8 in the West. The problem is not talent, rather it's that we have one starter with chronic knee problems, another starter coming off a knee surgery and another core player coming off of a serious back operation.
The fact of the matter is that we have not been able to stay healthy.

2 of those(Jrue/Ryno) were freak injuries to be fair.
They've both been fairly healthy in their careers(Jrue missed 5 games in 4 years)

Jrue was a shin. His issue was bone, not joint. The longterm prognosis on his injury is pretty good.
Like you said, Ryno is the worrisome one. I know firsthand how nagging a back injury can be. Even when you "play through it," you are definitely limited by it. I haven't had surgery, though. Maybe he can come back as good as new.
