You got the Timberwolves and Jazz rebuilding like shyt.


The Jazz are a playoff team if not this year than most likely next.


The Timberwolves will be legitimately good and really on the rise in like 2 or 3


That's two young teams rebuilding and growing into competitive teams in the WEST








The 76ers won't even be capable of competing to be competitive for like 4 years at this rate in the damn EAST:scust:




I understand trusting the process but this is really crazy mane.

yeah they've had just two years of really tanking

Before they even started tanking, they were able to trade for a guy that would've gone #1 if not for his injury.

The first year of their tank they got another guy that would've been #1 if not for injury and a top Euro prospect with a pick they got the year before.

How good are they supposed to be right now?

Why do people act like the Sixers have been tanking for 9 years?

Wolves haven't made the playoffs since 04.

Jazz last made it the same year Philly last made it there.



And look at where the Jazz are compared to the Sixers :comeon:

Since 2011 which team is closer to going back? :usure:



And which team is in the harder conference? :patrice:


And which team is in fukking Utah?:stopitslime:

And in all likelihood, Philly will make it back to the playoffs before Minnesota will simply because it's the East

they traded their best player and reigning ROY for nothing last year. they should be better than the NBDL squad they're putting out there.

the west isn't as strong (going forward) as many believe. I got the Wolves making the playoffs in 2016-17. in 2 years, perenially playoff teams like Dallas and San Antonio (if they don't get Aldridge) will fall off. Duncan and Dirk will retire. Blazers are done this season w/o Aldridge. OKC might lose Durant in 2016 and Westbrook in 2017.

if I told you in 2012, after we got Dwight, that the Lakers would be a lottery team in 2014 and 15, who woulda believed me?

things can change quickly. T-Wolves have the brightest future in the West outside of the Lakers.

Trading MCW was just an awful, awful move. That's when he officially lost me. He has further continued to lose me by stockpiling big men who really don't have much of a trade value. He's an awful GM ... couldn't have success in 2K Dynasty mode.

Gonna be an interesting season for the Sixers. If they win 17 games again while their guard play is horrendous and they can't move one of those three bigs, I don't see how Hinkie survives.

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding

Dallas isn't in a good spot at the moment... They put a lot of eggs in the Rondo basket thinking he'd be the missing piece and then they'd just overpay to bring everybody back but rondo clearly ain't going back and Ellis appears gone as well... Aminu is also a free agent and he was arguably their 3rd best player last season

Haven't really got a good read on what Chandler is thinking tho

Felton opted in :dead:

But Dallas is vulnerable right now
