I think what people thought Detroit would be is what Orlando is going to be this year.

They got the vets and the exceptional young talent to make the play-in.
Detroit is a year away, unless you're a casual alot of people see Orlando taking a big step this season, will be shocked however if they become this season's version of last seasons Cavs

Thunder/TSC
How much longer will OKC fans accept tanking?
I can see 1 or 2 years but it seems like y’all have been doing it forever. What are the fans saying?



Stop it. Y’all have Dame, Simons & Grant. Don’t put much weight in preseason games.

Y’all have Dame, OKC has Shai & Giddy, Orlando has Banchero & Wager, & Detroit has Cade & Bey.

Spurs don’t have any fringe all star/certified all star. They’re going to be the worst team this season.

Thunder have only been tanking for 2 years, Rona fukked up everyone's sense of time though so everyone acts like it's been 5 years or something.

Doubt it goes much longer just because they aren't going to be able to tank without going all out with fukkery, plus Presti has been fairly consistent about waiting to do anything big until he sees what the new CBA looks like since that's burnt them in the past. Chet being out for the season will make this another tank year anyway just because the team has no rim protection without him.

They've been tanking less time than magic and pistons, made playoffs in 2020. Fans will be fine
