8 Times When Rebuilds Go HORRIBLY Wrong 

Charlotte has been rebuilding for 20 years.

The Wizards are so good at rebuilding... we chose to do it forever

The miami heat lowkey rebuilded without tanking

So depressing knowing Pistons drafted Middleton and Diwinddie... 😢

Andy; “Everything changed when...” Me: “The Fire Nation attacked Andy: “Josh Smith came” Me: yeah that’s pretty much the same

The hornets/bobcats have been in a rebuild since they became a team💀

Idk but when you said “Brandon Knight wasn’t that terrible yet” was hilarious 😂

U can make all 8 on the knicks

The Kings are in a perpetual state of rebuilding. It never ends. They've been rebuilding since Vlade Divac was still a player.

As a Pistons fan I will kinda defend Jennings on the Pistons because after the Pistons cut Josh Smith, Jennings had the best 9 game stretch of his career resulting in a huge Pistons winning streak until he tore his achilles in I believe the last game of that streak. Idk how much differently it would’ve gone but it felt like he was breaking out during that streak into a solid PG

Q: "Which positions does Charlotte need to improve to compete?" A: "Yes."

Nets traded the pick that became Lillard for Gerald Wallace a year prior as well

The Knicks and Hornets are killing it ATM

Too many teams do the same mistake. They start from the bottom eventually draft a good player and then get stuck in mediocrity because they cant build around him( they are not bad enough to be at the bottom, and not good enough to be contender), the player leaves in free agency because he is fed up and the club is back at the beggining. Instead of doing that they should build around that player for few years and then at the peak of his value trade him for assets, start the rebuilding again, sooner or later find another good player and then have both the assets from previous trade and the good player that wont leave because they are stuck in the middle. Its literally that simple. But the problem is NBA is business and owners are greedy they want ticket sales and they are not willing to look into the future. Team like Charlotte is a perfect example. They started from absoulte 0 in 2010 they started floating around playoff spot with Kemba in later years, and instead of trading him for assets and rebuilding with those assets they go full delusional mode and then lose him for nothing and have to start all over wasting 10 years in the process.

Kings have done like 3 rebuilds since their last playoff appearance

I would include the Cavs rebuild around Le Bron James after drafting him. While there may be those who argue that they got to the Finals and had a lot of playoff success along the way, most experts agree that this was due to the brilliance of Bron and that if he had better players surrounding him, he would have achieved more success. It seems he agreed with this assessment and left for Miami when his contract was up. But why would I include this rebuild if it achieved so much success? Because anytime the player you built around WANTS to leave, you know management screwed up.

To be fair Cousins didn't have those issues with ejections after he left SAC so...

12:00 No they dont A team that has been trash for years making bad free agent and draft decisions doesn't deserve to magically get kd kyrie and zion all of a sudden A team lile the nets got out of a terrible situation making the playoffs meaning that deserved to get star talent the knicks just tild themselves well its ny lets just hope a star wants to play on the knicks instead of the nets

Brandon Jennings started playing good but tore his achilles don’t include him in that

The Kings waste everybody prime . This team has been terrible for a longtime . They haven't been good since Webber and biddy and Divac and Peja Stojaković

The Vancouver Grizzlies...so bad that the league moved them to Memphis.

2013 -2019 Lakers also should be top of the list. Ingram, Ball, Randle, Russell, Nance Jr., Clarkson... unlike Wolves and Kings, Lakers had good signings in Caldwell Pope, Rondo, Lou Williams, Lebron and surprise Kuzma development, but all just nothing.

Can you do how good was Clifford Robinson actually, he just passed away. Rip uncle cliffy

These worst attempted big 3 trio for a rebuild is Monroe, Drummond and Josh Smith 😂🤢

You could’ve just titled this video: number 1, the New York Knicks

I feel bad for kevin love man... The guy would be one of the top power forwads had minnesota seen him like a superstar(which he was). Even their GM didn't look at him like that. A few winning seasons was all he needed, i remember when he got drafted I was rooting for him.

Rubio, Curry, Love….. damn. Let me load up 2K. Rubio playing the 1 on offense and guarding the 2 on defense would’ve been crazy

Ready for the Brooklyn Nets part 2.🤣

Detroit: *signs Josh smith for $56 million* Stan van gundy: 2:33

I think this started out as a video about rebuilds, but the segment on the Kings seemed really out-of-place. The point you made was simply that a superstar (DeMarcus Cousins) wasted away his prime on a bad team. There was no discussion about the Kings failures to rebuild after trading him.

First thing that came to mind when reading the title is "The Process."

Rip the Kings, they have been terrible since 2006 when they last made the playoffs.

When I saw the title, I think of NYK, NYK and NYK

Knicks have been rebuilding since most of us aren't even born yet and Andy is still hopeful that they would improve in this lifetime. That's like at least 2 generations of wasted ticket sales.

Legend has it the Timberwolves have beeen rebuilding since their conception.

Sad thing about the Kings. When they were doing well, they fired Michael Malone, the coach that Cousins respected!

Hope MJ will "take this personal"

I thought you were going to mention 8 different teams of the Knicks :-p Great video! Maybe it would have been interesting to go back in time even further but that's a lot more research and "bad/average" players of former eras may not be known by most of us so it would maybe be less interesting too. The Bulls Chandler + Curry centers and the Wolves missing on their guard picks and staying bad forever were the first think that came to mind when I read the title, I think I would have put the Bulls rebuild ahead of the Suns one, albeit Phoenix remained bad for longer.

Those Andy hoops trumpets always gets me ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I remember seeing Josh Smith in Brooklyn one night when he played for the Pistons. On that night, he played for against the Nets. During that night, he was chucking up shots and missing. I said to myself they're going to get rid of him. He was visibly upset. And the next day, they did get rid of him.

That Kemba decision by Charlotte looks pretty genius now Terry is tearing it up and Kemba looks washrd

The 76ers rebuilding process was messy as hell.

Great vid andy keep up the grind

Terry Rozier was balling for Hornets and they look good and have a young core. Julius Randle is tearing up New York right now. Two teams off the list :)

You should do 1 on the teams that got stuck in rebuild mode & How long it took for them to get out 💯💯💯

And now the Knicks are good and Terry Rozier was now a key piece for the Hornets. Arguably at this point he's better than Kemba

Great video today keep it up your doing amazing job.

Andy u snapped on this video

The Knicks has been rebuilding since the beginning of the Century

Elton Brand been ruining rebuilds since I can remember lmaooo

always waiting for you andy

still having goosebumps with that nets-celtics trade omfg lol

I wanna flag something: Brandon Jennings started kicking ass when Smith was waived. ...then he got an achilles injury, right when the Pistons were just recovering from the slump with J Smoove.

Sacramento Kings, rebuilding since 2005. To be continued... 😂😂😂

Oh man watching this kemba take in the future hits different

I bet Bledsoe wish he was still in Phoenix rn 😂😂

6:48 However, when Charlie Kirk thinks you're wrong, you must have done something right.

Danny Ainge managing the Celtics like Association Mode in NBA 2K or Dynasty Mode in NBA Live

9:14-9:16 lol buddy was all in on that call!! 💀😂

The 13-14 Suns had a 3 headed PG rotation that ultimately blew up in their face. Dragic was gone, IT flourished in Boston, and Bledsoe became a team cancer. Things are looking up now for the suns however. The Brooklyn Nets. How to throw away your future 101. Giving up 3 first round picks for a trio of past there prime players. Ouch.

Tbh there has not been a team like that. But I suggest that maybe the next video you should do andy are teams that were supposed to rebuild that season but ended up making the playoffs.

i know its football but Detroit Lions: Rebuilding since 1957

That Ny Knicks “currently” at #1 didn’t age too well

Back then they saw Tyson chandler as a small forward. That’s why he didn’t develop until leaving the bulls

My Hawks will never be a force. We won 60 games and were still jokes

Crazy part is in 2k that pistons squad was good smith was one of the few players that could actually guard lebron

It is sad about the Knicks and Charlotte... I was fan of Knicks in the Melo era. Where they made playoffs and was fun to watch. But now it is so sad....

Nice vid man

I mean I can say that like for the Knicks , they’ve been rebuilding for the past 10, 15 years

You made this video and DIDN'T include the Jail Blazers? That was the worst in history.

this was a really good one

Amazing video

This video didn’t age well. 😂😂

If they don’t make big changes soon, the 76ers will be here soon

Watching this video 8 months later, when the Knicks made the play offs and Julius Randle is a shoe in for MIP, is super fun

We need to see a part 2

Meanwhile teams like the Raptors and Heat never had to rebuild to get where they are today because they have a winning culture and made smart moves

Suggestion for next video; How can MJ be such a great player but yet can never draft one?

Best basketball RU-vidr

At least the Knicks are back in the Playoffs having make it twice now in 2021 and now 2023 and currently playing their biggest nemesis Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Semifinals series.

The 76ers post Allen Iverson... Even before the real tanking started.

Knicks won’t do anything until Dolan is out.

This hasn't aged overly well. Knicks are a solid playoff team & The Suns are in the finals 😅

I would like to see a year only contract every year , and see how fast teams rebuild.

Hi andy! Can you make something about what happened to Larry Sanders? I think this is a good time talking about him.. a guy with so much potential to be one of the best rim protectors but vanished due to depression.. please see my comment.. i notice that you may be running out of content and some are a bit redundant in my opinion.. maybe a story of larry sanders may spice up your content.. i dont know if you featured him when he played in the cavs but this time when players are having mental health issues in the bubble, i think larry sanders topic can open up something about depression.. I always watch your videos 🙂👍👍👍

“8 Times When Rebuilds Go HORRIBLY wrong, ACTUALLY”

It’s hard to tell how many rebuilds there were for teams that haven’t stopped in years

Seeing this in August of 2021 its pretty funny you having the Knicks at 8, you weren’t wrong at the time though 🤣

Last time i came this quickly my girlfriend dumped me :(

The Knicks are actually turning it around this season.👍

Suns fan here, damn we came along way KCUF !!!

We get to watch the suns play in the finals again. Nice video.

Why are hornets on this list and not the pelicans. You said the Pelicans had good years with AD but The hornets also had good years with Kemba. We made the playoffs twice just like the Pels.

New York has never been great I recent memory They have been contenders through the 90’s and early 00’s but really even before that they were never a dynastic team They deserve nothing Also not making the playoffs in the 2010’s Eastern conference is sad

Sup from Ohio jay2k here 🔥 vid Andy keep it up

I had super high hopes for Johnny Flynn

10 months later, Knicks made the playoffs. The Suns made the Finals. Lol.

After the Bucks traded Brandon Jennings in 2013 I remember looking at the new Milwaukee roster saying they had potential to make a solid playoff run and boy was I off. R.I.P. Uncle Cliff.

Do a Damon Stoudamire or Monta Ellis “how good were they actually?” Next

😂😂😂 funny how he says freaking terry rozier when terry is playing better than Kemba 😂😂
