    Basically all winning teams/dynasties started with 'what ifs'

    What if Russell never joined Celtics, they don't win 11 rings in 13 seasons

    What if Bulls won coin toss and Magic goes back to college team

    What if Jordan didn't recover from foot injury and get Pippen to finally get out of first round

    What if Curry never recovered from those early ankle setbacks

    This team has a lot of untapped potential and we are trying to put a mark on it instead of letting it run its course like past teams did which is the organic growth of a rebuild

    Now rather they reach their max potential is on the players with the aid of the org/coaching staff unconditional support in helping mold that sculpture

    A 3 level scorer with 'come fly with me' athletic ability seems to be more sure a franchise level asset than others, but we shall see

    Poll is flawed because we’re not built to have a traditional single franchise player. That’s tired, wired is we have two kids that can be really special: Jalen and Jabari, with Sengun showing Star power too.

    plenty to choose from, only time will tell.

    as of now, JG and Alp are in front row to showcase

    as franchise players

    only a true connoisseur understands the intricacies of paying 43 million for a roleplayer

    ESPN literally going broke covering the Rockets, nothing negative to say now.

    Selling Majority Share of ESPN Stock, not even LeBron James ESPYS can save ESPN. Even Firing 100s of employees is not Enough.

    So many YouTube Content creators lost their Channel because of the NBA and ESPN, they make you sign the contract and slowly you lose your rights to your YouTube Channel.

    I wish ESPN the absolute worse.

    Their Stephen Curry, Draymond Green,. LeBron James Love Fest needs to end.

    Jalen Green is a losing player. Jabari Smith is the guy. Amen has superstar potential too.
