I mean does his downturn in all three of numbers / efficiency / on-off actually feel like just an effort thing, small sample size or are team comp or what

It’s a conditioning and adjusting to new offense thing. He’s not moving well and it is affecting his aggressiveness. He also isn’t hustling back in transition on offense or defense or able to even slow down people most games on defense.

Last season, he was in better shape and moved better. And then got hurt. So he may also not trust his body on top of everything else.

As far as team comp goes, he’s never been on a better team. Most stars would kill to have the 3-10 depth the Pels have. They are limited by their top 2 and not the other guys.

Their union has held strong against a salary cap, unlike the NBA. I’m trying to think of how much LeBron or Jokic would be offered if there wasn’t one in the NBA. Would Balmer give Jokic $1 billion/10 years? More?

And baseball players get a smaller percent of the revenue than NBA players do. The money is concentrated and by the end of Ohtani's 10 year contract NBA players will probably be over 70m themselves.

Adam Silver Talks Expansion, Two-Day Draft, More
https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/12/adam-silver-talks-expansion-two-day-draft-more.html

“I think now when you think of the global pool of players – as we move towards 30% of NBA players who were born outside the United States, including obviously some of our very best players in the league – I think that the timing will work out when we’re done with our media deals and we start looking to expand. I think we could potentially add two more teams to this league that could be very competitive.”

Warriors Notes
https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/12/warriors-notes-starting-five-cp3-kuminga-klay-haliburton.html

"Golden State committed 29 turnovers in Friday’s loss, which is the most in any game in the Kerr era and the most by any Warriors team since 2002, writes Slater. Kerr referred to it as an “obscene” amount of turnovers and said he plans to hold a film session to try to address the issue. “You want me to go through them?” Kerr said when asked if there were any in particular they needed to eliminate. “We will watch all 29 as a team. I can tell you that. We will watch all 29 turnovers.”"

'tis a shame he hasn't won a game in over a month.
