So, you see what I’m getting at. It’s not really a secret that any duo that won any titles was made up of sure-fire future hall of famers as the duo, which is obviously what Bogut and Jennings probably are not. But you’re getting stuck on the thought that they need a “big three”. My point is that sometimes a “big two” can win, or… a total team effort of lots of good to great players but no superstars can win: the ’04 Pistons. And who do people say was the true architect behind that team? John Hammond.

I don’t think this is a big secret or anything, but I think you just have to allow the possibility of a team winning with a different setup, and the setup that Hammond seems to be going for is the similar one that the middle of the decade Pistons had. I remember how much you love Chauncey Billups, and I’m not saying that Jennings could ever be a Billups, but like you said he can be good. Bogut seems like he could be their Ben Wallace, except actually OK on offense, and so on.
