I mean really, though. Stars get what they want, and they largely deserve it. Has Ben Simmons not gotten what he wanted because Daryl Morey is operating on a different plane than the rest of the NBA? Or is it because Simmons and Klutch — Rich Paul et al — underestimated what stardom is? Do the Lakers understand and accept that LeBron James might blow up their plans and follow Bronny to, say, Oklahoma City because they value the tenants of fatherhood, or because he’s LeBron James?
