Summary

On today's show, Adam Mares visits with Kirk Henderson of Mavs Moneyball to discuss a theory on roster building around Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic. Like LeBron James, both players are capable of doing most of the heavy lifting for a team on the offensive end. So is talent actually the wrong way to look at roster building around them? Could more offensive talent actually be a bad thing? We look at examples from Cleveland with LeBron, Golden State with Steph Curry, and Houston/Philadelphia with James Harden to see what has and has not worked for those teams over the last decade.
