Real talk, the NBA is probably the most frustrating sport to watch

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Are you really talking about 6-13 picks aka still in the lottery being late in the draft? Since when did every team have a shot at those picks? We can talk about lottery fukkups all day but the fact remains it still isnt' comparable to what happens in the NFL.

What happens in the NFL? Every team left in the playoffs besides NE drafted good quarterbacks in either the 1st or 2nd round right? Is that a coincedence? It's simple, draft well and your gonna be good unless your city is in LA,Miami,NY. Draft shytty and you'll be in the dump, regardless of sport. You'll see it my way when you really sit back and think about it.

Howard looks quite fancy with this turtleneck and jacket during the pre-game show.

I know several vets that took less to go there. You keep relaying this back to my team when my team inherently can't compete. You're using an extreme example to support a weak point. How about the extreme example in other sports that could fukk around and still do well?

How about this. You're the Wolves owner. The first step to rebuilding would be to hire a good GM right? Good luck.

Of course. My first step would be to get somebody like Jerry West to oversee the basketball ops department. Then i'll hire a GM that came from the Buford fraternity, maybe the Spurs director of scouting. This shyt ain't rocket science. Who took less to go to San Antonio or OKC?

Yeah it is because almost every team in the league did the same thing. I am not denying that drafting is important regardless of sport. My point was that you have to be fortunate enough to either be in the lottery the right year or be a destination in the NBA. There are always impact finds later on in the NFL that you can stockpile and build a winner with.

Only one problem:

What makes you think they'd take the job? Matter of fact, you're the owner. What makes that vacancy worth having?

Now I hope you're understanding where the problems start.

There are other situations in other league kinda similar to that (I have to look no further than the New York Jets for that), but for the most part, you can look at a situation and know there are less hurdles to overcome. Part of it is due to how turnarounds in those leagues occur. Even the Raiders, a GM can come in and fix the situation in a short amount of time. The Browns suck balls, but they found it easy to get a GM, coach and vet offensive coordinator in a heartbeat because while it won't be easy, turning that franchise around is not only doable, it's doable in a short amount of time. There are too many examples in the NFL, MLB and NHL that encourage taking even the shyttiest of jobs. You can't say the same for the NBA.

Think about it tho fam. If you ain't in the lottery then you probably is just a piece or 2 away. Eventually every nba team gets in the lottery even the Spurs. Basically half the teams in the league get in the lottery.

Jerry West went to Memphis bruh. Show him the money and he's in Minny right now instead of GS. You mean to tell me if you cashed out the Spurs director of scouting to take be a GM for the Wolves he wouldn't take it? Players care about cities not front office guys. Toronto is a shytty nba job right? If they showed money to a good scout they can get him. You just can't be cheap and win that's all.

 

[cleanface coney]

honestly nba the best sports to watch imo

they best players stand out most and make more impact on the game

i watch even the bad teams

 

[mastermind]

Not really. Who thought Dallas was gonna win it in 2011 at the start of the season? Who thought Detroit was gonna win at the start of the 2003-04 season? The fact is you never really can't predict whose gonna win. Who thought Cleveland would make the finals? Who thought Orlando would with Dwight? Can you honestly tell me you know the outcome of this season if the Clippers and Miami meet in the finals?

The Warriors will never win a title with this group. Do not delude yourself.

You guys do not have a franchise changer.

THe only reason why you made this post is because you have deluded yourself and have gone all in on the Warriors being a title team. They are not.

Money's not the reason why they can't lure brighter minds. They didn't get Dennis Lindsay or Lance Blanks or Randy Pfund because they were being cheap. They didn't get them for a bunch of other reasons, part of it being their wives did not wanna move to the Twin Cities and also not seeing the situation as being as viable as they thought.

Jerry West didn't go to Memphis because they paid out the ass for him. Jerry West didn't become an adviser because the Warriors had money. Besides would you pay a ton of money to an upstart who you didn't know could even do the job well? Why double the risk?

It's not about money. These GM's aren't starting off going to the highest bidder. They're going to a spot with opportunity and room for growth, and in other leagues (because Lord knows I'm trying to not use an extreme example in the Wolves) there's a way to get there and nice end result for getting there. Some situations (in any league) just don't offer that for different reasons, but the other three leagues offer more competitive incentive to give even crappy situations a chance.

The thing is those pieces can be pretty significant and your chances of getting significant pieces outside of the lottery are slim.

We're 5th in the west with 2 of our top 6 players injured. I can easily see Harrison Barnes becoming Rudy Gay or better. In other words I can see us becoming the new Memphis next season. shyt we're only 1 game behind them right now with no Bogut or Rush. Add those 2 to the roster and is it hard to imagine us beating LAC in a best of 7?

When was the last time the Mavericks had a lottery pick? They add Tyson Chandler and they get a ring. At the time Tyson Chandler was given away for an expiring contract. Smart GM's make smart moves fam.
