I found this on the Grizzlies message board a few weeks back, and it's the best reasoning I found on why being a lottery team>>>>>>treadmill/being content with just making the playoffs:


Grizzlies and Hawks are stuck in the dead end job

Where's the " smelly junkie strung out on dope with an incurable disease who hangs out at Kennedy's asking for change and a snack box watching the college student and middle class man eat with tears in his eyes not tripping if he doesn't wake up tomorrow" option, because I know a couple of teams that fit this description?

 

[CHICAGO]

JUST WATCHED THAT WESTBROOK GAME FROM LAST NIGHT.

JUST NASTY

That Philly water got extension properties. Embiid grew two inches here too.

Nah, just tall ass kids that are still growing.

It makes sense as to why he broke his foot if he did grow.

The problem with this analogy is that the overwhelming majority of these broke college kids who "dream" never even achieve what the middle aged man with no future has. At least he has a home and a job to work 60 hours at...that college kid is somewhere applying to starbucks trying to get 20 hours and an efficiency apartment...

The 76ers have been bad for a long time and their is no hope for them to get much better since their franchise big man can't play a full season...he can't even play the second game of a back to back...

The Lakers have been a lottery team for what...3 years now...and they are about to be a lottery team again WHILE paying Deng and Mozgov around 130 million combined for the next few years...

The celtics seem like they are in a good space...until you realize they haven't won a playoff series since brad stevens got their...their best two players are 30 and about to be 30...they have so many draft picks they don't even have enough roster spots for them...and they need to make a decision on rather to pay a dude barely tall enough to ride the rides at six flags 200 million or let him walk...

The kings couldn't build around a dominate big man and now they about to try to build around a buck toothed undersized shooting guard...

Memphis is a perennial playoff team...which is what these teams in the lottery are trying to be...so why would memphis purposely go backwards only so they can try to get back to where they are now?

 

[Professor K.]

wait...so you're saying....they shouldnt have held on to a 32 year old undersized 4 that doesnt stretch the floor consistently
you saying they shouldnt build around him?
i mean it aint like...he gonna leave in the off season leaving them with nothing in return....or cost them 150 million dollars to keep him


















fukk it, he bout to joe johnson them nikkas

Don't wish that on us again dawg

You get it breh. You get it
This shyt got me missing the Shelden and Marvin Williams days cuz at least a nikka had hope
shyt done made me a casual

 

[Professor K.]

Nah, just tall ass kids that are still growing.

It makes sense as to why he broke his foot if he did grow.

It's crazy to me how that even happens. I'm 6'0" but stopped growing at 13. These young nikkas got million dollar contracts and still growing up

 

[Ricky Dunigan]

So assuming Simmons starts right away, they're gonna be a tall front court with good passing skills. Philly plays hard, so i kinda hope injuries dont derail the whole thing

 

[SchoolboyC]

Memphis is a perennial playoff team...which is what these teams in the lottery are trying to be...so why would memphis purposely go backwards only so they can try to get back to where they are now?

Don't have any proof, but I'm 99% sure those lottery teams hope to become title contenders, not to become a capped out perennial 1st-2nd round exit with no real title aspirations and no youth to look forward to like Memphis.

Then this perfectly explains why these same teams continue to suck no matter how many top 5 picks they have...you can't skip steps...you can't go from lottery team to title contender without losing in the 1st and 2nd round alot first...

 

[str8up]

First quarter of the Pacers game was fine, then they just randomly started airing a fukking hockey game instead
