Q: Read your piece about “Rebuild 14.” The question I have is: Do you really think either Bam Adebayo or Tyler Herro are stars? I would say their comparisons are much more of the elite supporting-cast nature. I wish they were stars, but unfortunately we are only paying them like stars, which along with a few other of our contracts is the heart of the problem. – Jim, Charlotte.
A: But could they be more with the right pieces, sort of like the Hawks team that got to the East finals a few years back with Trae Young or even what the Pacers might be at the moment or were last season?
