It makes no sense-or does it? With a much deeper, bigger and more talented roster last year, the team, based on the results so far, underachieved. The 2014 version is playing much better basketball with a lot more grit, effort and heart. They move the ball better and look to be defending better. So it makes sense to ask-If Sampson stayed, would this be a top 10 or 15 team? Or would the chemistry be out of whack like last season? Some have already said that it's simple: Add a man who made a NBA roster, and you could only imagine how much better the team would be. You could say the improvement isn't addition by subtraction, but the natural maturation process of a senior filled team. They certainly look a heck of a lot better without Sampson and Sanchez, who was gone anyway. Would Dom have been lost in the shuffle again if Sampson stayed? Would the me first attitude on offense prevail if Jakaar stayed? Would love to hear some opinions.
