HurricaneDij's Rebuild Rankings

[HurricaneDij39]

Nah, you have already shown that you're too stupid to have an actual discussion with.

So, what I'm going to do instead, is continue to clown you.

No analysis. Just blanket insults. Shocker.

No analysis. Just blanket insults. Shocker.

No intelligence. Just wall to wall stupid.

Not a shocker.

if you had any sense of history you would see that there have been 2 big free agent signings by the Lakers in the past 30-40 years.....LeBron and Shaq.

Sure, because the Lakers rarely have cap space and typically are reloading, not stripping down to rebuild. The big acquisitions have been via trade. If Lebron leaves and still wants to earn something reasonably close to his salary, it WILL be via trade. Same with AD.

Dude. LeBron will not allow his destination team to give up assets to get him. It should be a given that he has that kind of power.

Then he isn't going to get paid? He's also not going to a stripped out team.

Most likely he plays out his current deal with the Lakers (2024-25 option included) and take whatever money is available to play w/ Bronny, no lower than MLE though. Because the way he's talking, playing with his son will be a greater object to him than money at that point.

The team that drafts Bronny does so with the knowledge that Bron could come with him. MLE? Not going to happen. S&T.

For those convinced Detroit had a better outlook than the Pacers...

Consider tonight justice in the playground. Plenty of missed opportunities for that franchise:

• Drafted Killian over Haliburton.
• Declined OKC's offer of Giddey + SGA for Cade.

Good to see a blatant tanker fall on their ass.

They have a better outlook than the Pacers because they are willing to tank.

That is the reason.

Didn’t work out this year, but they will still get a nice piece and likely another high pick next year.

I just don't understand why they didn't move Burks and/or Bog at the deadline. Might as well go all in...

Sam Hinkie has been out of a job for seven years, and there are more reasons for that than just one.

It's time to move past that as a viable team-building mechanism.

Pistons suck and have for four years now.

How many championships does Indiana and Denver have

I think their plan was that this was the final tank year and it didn't pan out well. Bog and Burks are great pieces to build around.

You put OKC number 1 on your list and they’ve been tanking for years.

I should clarify moreso in filling out a roster not so much as a 1 or 2. Bojan is a very solid starter though and Burks was the best bench piece they had.

Umm OKC actually tanked 2 seasons

Did they tank though?
When things that are grouped with a number of two does it carry the plural “s”?

What did I say that was wrong?

You said “for years” like they are a perineal offender like some of these teams. I’m sure I probably basically agree with your point, just had to set that straight.
