Yes, you can draft a doncic with any pick...so why destroy your franchise's value while doing it? Instead, you can build a respectable team that's attractive to FAs and won't destroy young players development. A lot of tanking teams destroy the development of young players because they build bad habits.
My question has nothing to do with Harden per se (I still feel the same way about Harden as I did before but that's besides the point). It was a question of how THIS current team could execute what you were proposing. Perhaps Wall could be that facilitator that could find guys open at the three point line but I still don't trust that left leg of his too much.
Bro you can’t just get a Donic with any pick. we aren’t going to be respectable for years. When I say respectable I mean good enough to win. Not well run organizations
Dallas is still in a great position. Dallas is where we were the first year of Harden in Houston. Except Doncic is 3 years younger than Harden was at that time. They really have a generational talent at 21 years old — it’s insane. Dallas has all the time in the world to figure out how to surround him with the right pieces.
Yep, you can draft superstar HOF players with literally any pick. Spurs big three consisted of two guys from the 2nd round...Butler was 30. Kawhi and Giannis 15...I mean we can play this game all day long throughout the years. You don't need a top 5 pick to build a championship team.
whats the problem with my post? he asked of me to trust his prediction about the future and i asked of him the proof he knows what his talking about. If he is so good predicting then he must have predicted the warriors rise or the miami finals last year.
Free agents don’t really join teams because they have a respectable image and a winning culture. If that were true, San Antonio and Indiana would be front runners for every free agent. Players care about two things only: 1) Geography 2) Teaming up with another star
If you're talking about anyone but Wood I disagree. No one wants Houston. We are rebuilding, we should be focusing on developing Wood and getting picks. Get EG, Tucker, Cousins, Wall and MAC outta here asap. Save cap space get picks and cheap young players pray we get a good young player with the picks that stars want to come and play with.
San Antonio has no cap space to even sign anyone. Geography is overrated, always has been, more players have picked Houston over the Clippers and Knicks. Playing with another star is a factor, winning is a factor. These are bigger factors than geography. Clippers only are a destination because they got rid of their trash losing and tanking culture.
I’m waiting for the post from u where Miami started 4-9 and made the finals...oh wait, they started the season 30-13 please show me where on this roster u see Steph, Klay, and Draymond as well I’ll be waiting for u to provide the data on that...take your time...thanks
Yes but the numbers favor my way of doing things. There are always exceptions but they are not the norm
I honestly don't think we can build a better culture than San Antonio and Boston. People should check their FA performance after Duncan and Bird's retirement. How many stars did Boston sign in the 30 years after Bird's retirement because they're (arguably) the greatest franchise in the NBA? Is San Antonio in a much better position than Dallas now because they have this great culture and has never been bad for over 20 years?
and cf told me if you just lose a lot of games, like a lot, you are the champion were they somehow wrong?
No one wants us now because we're not winning, but if this team were to grit their way into the playoffs and say Miami doesn't really look all that better do you think Oladipo rushes there? It also raises the value of all your players you have. Being a garbage team is a hard hole to dig out of, people are missing that. Teams have decided to tank and have been doing it for decades because... They go through coaches every 2-3 years so nothing ever sticks Players that have potential get bad habits and never learn what winning is so you end up wasting talent. See the Kings for this example. Your team is such trash that none of your players are even movable. Like Any of these teams could have offered a package for Harden and they all would have been worse than the Nets. Who would you really want from Minny if they say "We're not trading you KAT, now take your pick!" It is really difficult to get out of that hole and once you're in it...well, then you'll need a Lebron like player to get out of it.
