This is how the NBA works – one day you’re the centre of the universe; blink, and you’re a human prop in the marketing of the next big thing
Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul, left, greets San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama after an NBA preseason basketball game in San Francisco on Oct. 20.Paul is 38 and headed to the Hall of Fame. He could win a championship this year with Golden State.
.Wembanyama is the newest, shiniest thing in the league since Zion Williamson and his understandably stressed ligaments showed up four years ago. Wembanyama is No. 1 on a short list of names the NBA wants you to get excited about. Scoot Henderson is Wembanyama, but normal sized. Though he already looks like he’s 40, Luka Doncic is still on the list. Anthony Edwards is the sleeper next big thing. He could be a really big thing if he found himself a sticky nickname. Every time I hear ‘Anthony Edwards’ I think, ‘The guy onToronto’s Scottie Barnes figures somewhere on the list.
There’s only two ways they’re solving this problem – get very bad and draft the next Wembanyama or Edwards; or buy an aging superstar and hope he can Kawhi Leonard you to relevance. Golden State is still a team everyone wants to see, though their starting five fit demographically into the definition of middle age. They aren’t as exciting any more, but they have pedigree.
