    because we've had multiple superstars on our team in the last 5 years - they just got injured. By the premise of the article, we weren't mired, we were just unlucky.

    And not overspending on mediocre players. At least not this season.

    I wonder what our worst move of the last 5 years is? I'd say trading Andre Miller for Raymond Felton was bad but nothing like some of those teams mistakes. Drafting Luke Babbit?

    and drafting Nolan Smith.

    Our last 5 years wasn't as bad as many other teams. I don't see a single contract that is insanely over-valued; with the exception of Freeland. And really is Freeland such a hit? I think our brass has done a fine job recovering from some bad luck. <--- Thank God for the Amnesty!

    Ahhh yes giving a bad knee Brandon Roy $84 million has got to be this franchises biggest mistake. I could not imagine if we had that deal on the cap until 2015. No Lopez, Trob, or Wright here this offseason. Paul Allen has got to be pissed every month he keeps having to write that check.

    The worst move we've made is probably one that we didn't make. For example, NOT trading Oden for Duncan. Though there could be other moves we didn't make that may be worse.

    Look at the Raptors biggest mistake:

    "Biggest mistake, last five seasons: Signing Hedo Turkoglu to a 5-year/$53 million contract in 2009."

    And people want to give KP a pass for offering 50MM to Hedon't...
