All those guys, except for the last two, make their teammates better. Shaq is a very underrated passer, gets boards, McGrady has a great outside shot and is a very good passer, and Kobe, as much as I hate him, is lights-out from the outside, is a killer on defense, and wants to win more than anyone.
Did they not ask Ron Artest?
Or Rip Hamilton? Or Michael Redd?
Ron Artest and Paul Pierce weren't on the offer list I saw. I've no idea why. I was just limiting myself to the black guys on the possible roster from a few months ago. I figured Karl Malone balanced my team out better than Kevin Garnett. =)
