Make rookie deals three years long, and all this tanking bullshyt won't even matter. I'm very surprised at Atlanta voting no though, what the hell is the plan in that front office?


Btw, prepare for a long lockout soon.

These GMs been getting spoon fed top picks and been fukkin up. blame the management for teams suckin for years :manny:

You can't exactly say that either. A lot of the top picks were not exactly impact players, right away. You have to give them at least 3 years. All of this time, you have to try to realistically build a team around them....basketball wise. It used to be that you have time to build a team, because your pick will be the face of the franchise for the next decade...given extreme circumstances of course. But now you have to win now or lose out. GMs/Franchise really have little power to build a team now, or really are scared.

The KG situation in Minny - the Joe Smith scandal hindered their moves for a while.
Orlando Shaq & Penny - the beef
GS Webber - couldn't get along with the coach
Orlando Dwight - he's not good enough to really carry a franchise
AI - had hella hard time
Duncan - been retooling for years
Stretch of non-worthy #1
Yao couldn't stay healthy
Lebron - tried the AI model to build a team

Teams have been trying but it takes time to win.

You also get to weed out the bums earlier
