Grizzlies with the biggest margin of victory in NBA History(A 73-point asswhooping to OKC)

[CrimsonTider]

This is Year 3 of rebuilding after a decade of deep playoff runs. I know we getting jokes off but going to Seattle won't mean anything.

Why did they trade all there good players in year 1 of the rebuild?

The league allowed them to do a bunch of non competitive moves to get to that point. What’s to stop them from doing the same with SGA, Bazley, etc and be on an infinite loop. It really makes for a worse league when all 30 teams not trying to win

I hate to break it to you, but all 30 teams don't go into a season trying to win. OKC is already in 2024-25 and they're waiting for the calendar to catch up.


Luckily, a human element causes rebuilds to not necessarily be infinite. If progress isn't being made, people lose their jobs. Players don't make it. Fans tune out. Those things cause changes that will lead to teams trying to put out a better product, but the days of teams putting out their best possible foot forward and playing for this year no matter the odds and letting the chips fall where they may, that's some shyt you do when you feel your fans don't care about winning (and fans do).

I said the same thing about Houston. At this point the NBA draft is a crap shoot. Even if you get the number one pick, there are too many unknowns. OKC had bad contracts that they were able to get rid of and I commend them for that. I guess the logic with these teams is going 38 - 44 is no different than going 15 - 67. At least with the latter, you can get a high draft pick and still have a lot of cap space.

but the problem with OKC is that they will never attract big name free agents. And if they think they will draft another KD, Westbrook and Harden is consecutive drafts, that will never happen again.

So you don't think they'll sign guys but then you don't think they'll draft well either. So what do you want them to do? Aim for mediocrity just so you can believe they're in it to win it this year?

Pelicans a great example

when the owner bought the team, he forced them to Oklahoma City. A horrible market for an NBA franchise. He even said, he would be happy if they simply broke even financially each year. They got lucky but inheriting KD and Westbrook.

As far as what they do, nothing. They simply have to get lucky in the right draft.

You described every single owner in sports. Everything else you mentioned, who fukking cares? You couldn't name 30 individual markets that would be viable for professional basketball.

 

[Greenhornet]

still a Dort fan

I mess with Edwards, Dort and Bol heavy

 

[Ironman]

Still at that score

 

[ZEupTWN]

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl with -56

The fact that breh is a starting center in the league let’s you know the tank is full on…

 

[breakfuss]

Holy shyt. I knew they were bad but that’s ridiculous lol. And yet this is the same team that managed to be the Lakers 2x. Trying to make sense of it.

 

[Killer Instinct]

Fire & cut everybody. Season over. A professional NBA team losing by 73 is just the result of everybody from the water boy to the 12th man not caring. If you're going to tank, at least exhibit some decorum.



I'm sorry, Seattle. Yall deserved better.

 

[BlackAchilles]

Steven Adams came back and whipped his first team like a government mule

 

[T.he I.nformant]

The Lakers lost to this same OKC squad

























Twice

 

[OGBobbyJohnson]

Send them back to Seattle. Motherfukking disgrace.
