They were amazing at running bigs off the court so I have to think they would have done great against Rockets and Wolves. Nuggets were just too thin to contend this year but if they went to finals healthy it would go to 7 against Pacers. Who would have gotten HCA in that series? Imo they beat Lakers and Warriors easily. Clippers IDK, they were...

I think my point was just if you count drafted players for 25% less against the cap you punish a smart team like Indiana or ny. None of nys current core was drafted but all of it came through smart trades and free agency moves. It wasn’t just throw money at a superstar because we have more money than others. They be “punished” compared to...

I know the obsessed Jazz fan is trying to rain on the parade, but, although Clarkson is legitimately bad on defense, he has been a solid bench scorer in the past where his efficiency was solid. Yes, it's fallen hard in the past 2-3 years but who knows if that's from playing on a tanking team and without a true PG anywhere to be seen on those...

Orlando would have won multiple titles if he was loyal, Lakers would have won more, Heat would have won more, Celtics would have won more. But he was too lazy/toxic and sabotaged those organizations and teams

A lot better. They'll be able to hold leads with Jokic on the bench. Feels like this should be a 60-win Denver team if healthy.

Axe isn't very clever And he isn't very bright That's why he makes retarded posts All throughout the night

Houston and Denver are both going to be even better. Spurs and Lakers both got great additions too.

No. Like you already said OKC shouldn't be punished for being smart and stockpiling talent as a small market team. Dynasties are good for the league.

Weird, OP. Why didn't you include your unpopular opinions that the 2020 Heat were better than the 2025 Pacers? Or that Tom Brady is the biggest choker in NBA history? :lol

I don't agree with the titles part (he won 4 after all), but he should have won the MVP in 2001-2005 or so and be in the GOAT conversation. He was too lazy to do that, though. Anyway, here are my takes: -Tim Duncan is Top-5 all-time and should be in GOAT conversations. -If Derrick Rose didn't get injured he would won more Regular Season MVPs...

A couple of teams really improved their positions with single, under the radar, signings. 1. Spurs - Luke Kornet. How the rest of the league let Kornet go to Spurs, I don't know. This dude is a really good, tough throw-back center with craftiness on both sides of the ball. Great compliment to Wemby. 2. Clippers - Brook Lopez. Finally,...

Who knows if LeBron will even be there.

This.

+1 Good/interesting takes. My dad still talks that Blazers team. .

Still funny how this was the first reply of the thread and been the theme sine. It really is the thing with people on the left, they can be average or high IQ, be able to sort all kinds of problems, but then all of the sudden they remove any kind of common sense and just throw out something completely crazy like Bill Gates here.

I definitely give the 94 Bulls that title, for all the reasons you said. They had 70 win potential talent-wise, but I think alot of what drove the 96 Bulls/MJ to reach that level was the loss to Orlando. Coming off the 93 title they wouldn't have had the same motivation, but they would have benefited from the roster upgrades, Pippen/BJ/Grant...

You could LEGIT have an all-time defensive team of just Pistons. Ben Wallace Dennis Rodman Tayshaun Prince Ausar Thompson Joe Dumars

Punishing Intelligence and good scouting because competent people being morons makes it easier on the incompetent isn’t much of an argument to me. Regardless of how they get them taking players from good teams always benefits the shit teams they are forced to play for instead, but that doesn’t make it right. People who know what they’re doing...

The 77' Ring is the greatest championship of all-time. Shaquille O'Neal was not the most dominant player of all-time, rather he was the most toxic that cost his teams more titles than he won. Paul Arizin, Dolph Schayes, and George Mikan all belong in respective top ten lists based on positions. The Basketball Hall of Fame needs to...

The counter is just because you drafted well doesn’t mean it’s good for the league if you dominate. Imagine say a richer guy like ballmer or Gilbert owned okc and there was no 2nd apron. They could be flipping Hartenstein Caruso every pick for Giannis in half a year. It be great to watch for a half year but other teams are basically dead for...

Knicks honestly should have won the 94 NBA Finals ... they had the Rockets beat and on the ropes, if John Starks shoots even 30% from the field for game 7, the Knicks win, he somehow managed to have an 11% from the field game, lmao. Can't even make that shit up. If Jordan didn't retire I think they do win again because that Bulls team honestly...

Stockton could have been a 25ppg scorer if he wanted to.
