Seems like since they all got paid (Young, Collins, Huerter and Capela) they're on cruise control. The tendency is get comfortable and complacent. Maybe there are chemistry issues as well. Something is amiss.

There is always a conversation among NBA fans about the worst contracts in the league, with quite a few examples of injuries and poor performances, making a player's deal very difficult for the team to deal with.

Gilbert Arenas Accuses Michael Jordan Of Instigating Wizards-Bulls Brawl In 2005: "Y'all Ain't Got No Fight In You!"
Michael Jordan is one of the biggest trash talkers in NBA history, always trying to get under his rivals' skins to win the game even before it started. MJ really mastered that art after learning from Larry Bird, and it's interesting to know that he kept using those tactics even after retiring from the game. His competitiveness hasn't faded, and proof of that was his challenge to Magic Johnson during the top 75 ceremony in Cleveland during the 2022 NBA All-Star Game.

Harden dropped just 11 points in Game 6, an elimination game for the Sixers, a performance that was so poor that even the usually positive Magic Johnson called him out for his poor play.

Chris Broussard On Luka Doncic Being Like Larry Bird: "I Don't Think He Could Be In The GOAT Conversation Ever... He Could Be, Perhaps, Top 10 Player Of All Time."
Luka Doncic at 23 is on a career path that is scary to think about. Despite having been in the league for just four years, Doncic has been an All-Star for three of those, and All-NBA First Team for two, developing into arguably the most complete offensive player in the league. He had an incredible pedigree coming into the league and it has already translated extremely well into the NBA.
