and you didn't anticipate that why...?

With or without Kawhi

saw that coming LAST week...

I think the exact opposite.

The casual fan would want to see the perpetual 40-45 win roster.

The educated, invested fan would want their team to try and do more than that. Which Philly clearly has.

And to be perfectly honest, I don’t think Laker and Heat fans can fully grasp this because it does not apply to your team. You don’t have to bottom out to rebuild. You just need competent management and cap space. Sometimes, you don’t even need the latter.

Teams like The Wizards have to bottom out. And they never do.

That is why our best season in 40 years is 50 wins and the second round of the playoffs.

No guarantee either way.
Its not like teams discount season tickets when they suck.
If anything, you’d stop buying season tickets and buy much cheaper on stub hub.

This signing just shows the confidence level our team has in Aaron Holiday lol.

The Pacers are going to be griiiiiiiiiity defense.

With or without Kawhi

I think without they would entertain Dragic. Would be a perfect fit.

There is never a guarantee of championship.

But the Wizards method is a guarantee of no championship ever.

Nothing worse than that.

OK, but the Cavs got the idea early after he left the plan should be lure him back. And even AFTER the letter he still chose to play for Gilbert again. And it worked.

Miami is a FA hotbed, Cavs are not. Has anyone said otherwise? Yet Miami is still looking to be at best a 4-5 seed in year 6 after he left. How long can they use it as an excuse?

As a reason? Maybe 1 or 2 more seasons. It had far reaching effects because Bosh continued to count against their cap and some of the contracts were longer because they were still trying to compete.

I'm not saying they haven't made mistakes either. But even with moves that turned out to be mistakes, you could understand the reasoning at the time.

For example, signing Whiteside for what they did. At the time they did it, there were other teams offering him max money as well. So, while in hindsight it was a mistake, you can see why they did it.

If they land Kawhi, they can bring back Tyronn Lue as starting PG for all I care.

or what Philly did, or what OKC did, or what the Cavs did, or what a lot of teams have done- some have done it well, some have done it not so well.

id rather take a shot at it then be perpetually mediocre.

Philly hasn't won a title since the 80's. OKC has never won a title in their history. Cavs have finally won a title where they were middling around until arguably the greatest player of all-time came back to finally help them win. If Lebron wasn't from Cleveland, he probably doesn't come back to Cleveland and you're probably without a title. OKC wasn't purposefully sticking in the lottery, because they just plain sucked.
