Good for them. I'll tell you what's not good for them, they just had 16 seasons where they never even for a game got to this point and during those 16 seasons they haven't made the playoffs. Sometimes it takes perspective to see that we don't have it that bad. Also it goes to show you that if you blow it all up and plan on tanking bringing you back to the playoffs, you might be waiting for a really long time.

That’s because they suck at drafting. They could’ve drafted Dame or Luka among others. Instead, they took Thomas Robinson and Marvin Bagley.

Everyone misses and I mean every single front office. It's also a matter of drafting players that will fit together when at 19 years old you don't really know which of there skills will become the strongest. It's incredibly hard to build a contender through the draft without getting extremely lucky. The teams that have built dynasties through the draft recently (Warriors and Spurs) had major contributions from late first and second rounders. I'm saying that building a contender around known commodities by adding known commodities is a helluva lot more likely, even with the limitations of the talent and other assets that we currently have than blowing it up and hoping to draft one.
 
Does this statement surprise anyone? Great players do not make good talent evaluators because they seldom put in the work. I give more credibility to the internet geeks who actually watch all the games/players.

Sengun is really starting to impress. I doubt Joe could prise him from Houston...
 
Somehow the Thunder have been winning against good teams with guys like Isaiah Joe and Mike Muscala getting premium minutes. They have a helluva coach
 
Golden State puts out a starting lineup of Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, Kevon Looney, Steph Curry, and Klay Thompson in Chicago.
The Bulls win by 14 and snap their 11-game losing streak.
The Bulls last loss was by 14 at home to the Thunder.

only if you have a boob of a GM.

With all the prospect guru’s that Cronin has hired they surely couldn’t whiff at the draft like that

There’s GM’s who trade Malcolm Brogdon for Aaron Nesmith.

How about we fleece a team on a deal for a change

Ah yes, the exception. "Let us fleece a deal". Lol wut. Why even post that? Lmao. Entitlement is a weird thing.

Good try, though. My post still stands.

Drafting is anything but an exact science. I think the same people calling to blow it up could very easily be calling for a new GM for the second or third time six seasons from now when we're even further away from contention than we currently are. It's a very typical "grass is greener" situation.

They might not need him if they get Wemby.

This season, no matter who plays, they haven’t been able to win on the road. No surprise tonight.
 
What does CJ know? Did GTJ tell him he wants out of Toronto?
