LMAO@you don't want to be mediocre in the NBA. Every team in the east save Cleveland is mediocre. Philly could be losing in the ECF next year with a few roster tweaks.

you don't wanna be mediocre, but now you're proving Philly's point by doing what they do. That "if you're not first, you're last" mentality

Philly has no point. Every team in the East not named Cleveland is mediocre. It's not unfathomable that they could have been ECF runner ups for the past couple years if they tried. And could be next year, even without a max player or marquee player.

but you don't know that and nothing they were doing was pointing in that direction. Are you saying they're not that far off from being a contender in the East? If you are you're buggin'.

The not being mediocre thing is overblown. It's about not being a treadmill team that has no franchise players nor the assets/flexibility to get one.

If you're a mediocre team with young building blocks on the rise that's one thing.if you're say the Hornets who have nothing close to a franchise player nor the ability to get one you're screwed

Dude said you could be losing in the Easter Conf. Finals with a few moves :mjlol: That's what we should aspire to be
people are just mad you're not doing JUST enough to be seen and ridiculed. People in a roundabout way care about how good your team is. They just don't want you to get in the way of teams with real aspirations.

Nobody is a real contender in the East unless LeBron goes west. They could at least be in the ECF like Toronto. They weren't that far off when they blew it up.

You're not beating whatever super team LeBron creates in the east. So yeah, you best be happy with an ECF loss. I'm sorry I rather my team lose in the ECF, than be a high profile NBDL team.

A team like the Hornets is cool with making the playoffs though because they haven't gone enough to set their standards higher. Philly has. Charlotte has yet to reach the "we're tired of barely making the playoffs" stage

My issue with Philly (and I've supported their movement) is that they get one of the guys they were losing for yet they're not happy. It's like waiting in line for some foams, not being far enough ahead in line to get the new ones, and instead of getting a different pair of sneakers you say fukk it all and walk around in the same chancletas you had until next year's version of those foams drop. Can't nobody tell me they spent all of 2015 plotting on landing KAT when Jah got much of the attention during that college season. 2014 went from the Wiggins sweepstakes to "Wiggins, Embiid or Parker and you can't lose". They got one and they're not satisfied? The year before they landed a player who if not for an ACL injury woulda went #1 no questions asked. Still not satisfied. Is it about the player or the pick?
