@Natebishop3 There was no great database due to all the trades and whatnot, so I slapped something into a spreadsheet showing the location of each...
I'll try to slap together a quick database of the last 10-15 champions and the picks they had 5-10 years prior to their title and see what it spits...
1000%, which is why I continue to say that people can believe we're going to win a championship next year if they want, I'm not trying to stop anyone...
Is that true though? Golden St didn't have a top 6 pick before their run. Denver hasn't had a top 6 pick since Melo. Milwaukee hasn't since they...
Ok... and how does that differ from my original point?
I hear you. I'm really not trying to crap on your optimism, but this gets back to my original point that I believe the expectation that Sharpe/Scott...
Even if I believed that were true, that's a strategy!
Again, why did you bring up 3 top 6 picks we obtained via trade as an example that we need to draft players to get that level of talent? If we're...
I agree that's the easiest way and we've been able to achieve that goal of sucking, with Dame. We didn't even had to trade him to do that.
I 100% agree. I think Nate bringing up those players made very little sense because we didn't draft them, it was 20+ years ago, etc. I also agree...
The Sheed/Smith/Pippen combo doesn't align with the theory of us needing to get top 6 picks because we didn't draft any of those players. Seems like...
I've read that report. I wonder what the other offers have been. It's hard to imagine two parties have had a discussion where only one offer was...
I think you're agreeing with me. People want Dame traded (not given away for nothing). Some people wanted Aldridge traded (not given away for...
Where is the confirmed list of what Miami has offered Portland and vice versa?
I'm not sure what the list you provided proves. Didn't many people here want most, if not all of these players (including Dame now) to be traded to...
I agree and I don't begrudge people for feeling optimistic. I'm speaking more of the folks whom appear to be confident that getting rid of Dame for...
I'm glad you're excited, I'm jut not sure what you've seen from Scoot in the G-League that makes you think the offense is going to be singificantly...
Correct. I've never advocated against drafting well; very much the opposite. In the meantime, I feel maximizing assets, retaining top talent, and...
Bingo. I made the comparison about a year ago that we're much closer to turning into the Kings than we are the Warriors/Lakers etc. Turning into what...
How I feel before we're starting a full reset is very similar to how I felt before we started our last coaching change: It's a new strategy that...
