The following year with basically that same roster intact, Spree/Cassell both made headlines before the season even started by complaining about their contracts. Spree in particular stated how he had to feed his children... I'm sure whatever he was making wasn't enough to buy food for his kids.  But KG has never had a Kobe, Shaq, Pippen, or Wade to be his sidekick... Cassell, who was what, 33-34 yrs old back then, has been his top sidekick in his whole career. Marbury would've been, as he was actually able to make other players better during his brief stay in Minny, but he was too selfish and had to go to NJ. Otherwise he's had guys like Wally/Ricky Davis to back him up.
And your point of them trying to surround KG with a # of different players is exactly the problem. Get him some GOOD players and stick with them... Look at how many players from the Wolves leave every year, its ridiculous. Duncan doesn't have to deal with that, he's had Ginobili/Parker for a while now.
