re: The Historical Argument for Keeping AD

All last year proved to me was that AD needed Rondo and Cousins to guilt him into playing harder than he ever had in his life. After those 2 leaders left in Free Agency, AD realized he didn’t have the mental makeup to lead the team himself and he tried to force his way to the team with Rondo and Lebron so he could be 3rd leader again. And yes, I’m aware the organizational structure was a bit of a shitshow, but we still had the talent and pieces to be as good as last year. AD just didn’t want it badly enough. Effort wins games in the regular season and he gave almost zero.
