It is interesting that Davis turns 33 this season/in March, been in the league 14 years, yet has only been on a 50-win team once in his career (2020).
In the past, prime healthy Cousins was the scapegoat for not meshing, then NOP mgt was the problem, Bron-ball was preventing him from "taking the reigns", it was Russ fault, LAL mgt fault, "bad luck" injuries, etc.,... maybe at some point just gotta accept that carrying a team simply isn't what he does. It's likely not gonna happen in year 15 or 16.
Kyrie don't really be leading shyt as a #1 option either (in the few opportunities he had), and he'll be 34 this March coming off the torn ACL.
