When was the last time a waiver-wire signing -any waiver-wire signing- worked out for the team acquiring the player? Not just “oh this guy didn’t totally suck all the time for us so I guess this worked out”, but honest-to-god improved the team and reinvigorated the fanbase.
There are probably a lot of examples, actually. I’m just too lazy to find them. What I’m trying to say is that somehow David Lee, who everyone thought was done, is contributing to a legit playoff team at a high level. How is this happening? Is he just the perfect fit? Is every bigman a perfect fit in Dallas next to Dirk? I have no explanations.
I tried watching these highlights to see if I could gain any insight, but I couldn’t. It was just him making a bunch of shots, if maybe the commentators would have started talking in detail about why he fits in so well with the Mavs, that would have helped. Someone please explain this to me. I am dumb.
