I think Steph is a similar player to KG in that he needs guys on the team he respects. He respects Spree, he respects Jalen Rose. There aren't too many in the league he does. Sheed. Toine. If we're building around Steph (and as long as Zeke is here, we are), we need to get Steph a guy like that who he respects.

that i will agree w/u on...but he had a superstar young player next to him in MIN & he chose to leave there in favor of being the man on another team...i think he also needs to feel like he's the man on any team he's on as well...maybe that's changed now that he's older, but he's never had to deal w/another player outshining him since he left MIN.
