He's weirdly really bad as a lob catcher and pick and roll finisher though.

He is an incredible rebounder but it turns out that doesn't actually matter much any more and you can't get away with just doing that

Some of that you can blame on over aggressive lobs in stagnant offense, but yeah, he is what he is. I'm kind of caught up defending him but I don't have any illusion about who he is. In the end he's a huge jumping guy who doesn't know where to stand on defense. I suppose the point is, is a non pouting Andre Drummond better than Deandre Jordan (yes, of course), Zubac (probably no), whoever the Lakers are playing (maybe), Mavericks (uhh)

Okay, I'll admit it took me a bit to get into it... But I think I kinda love this!! I'm Spider-Man!! I'm actually Spider-Man!! HA!

Seems like it really was a last minute thing, then. Also I don't think it's a big deal as long as JJ eventually plays. They traded a whole lot of nothing

So I’m watching The Last Dance for the first time and it’s pretty cool but this is so obviously not actually a documentary and rather a hagiography. So is the whole narrative that Jerry Krause was the stupid fuckup that ruined the Bulls dynasty because of his own ego accurate?

Oh I'm still fine with the trade I just think it's genuinely hilarious how much lightyears ahead-style bluster the Mavs throw out there vs. how often weird poo poo like this happens to them

Its partially true and Krause was definitely way up his own rear end but the documentary glossed over lots of other stuff that was going on.

Is there a more accurate rundown over what happened? Maybe a detailed critical review of the series?

Sort of but a lot of the issues were the owner being cheap and letting Krause take all the bullets for it because Krause already wasn't well liked by the players or Phil.

The dynasty as it existed was probably pretty close to being on the way out either way; Pippen was completely shot physically.
