Everyone lauds OKC for their savviness in building a franchise from the bottom up, wise contracts, great trades and hoarding picks. I get the Clippers dont have picks but why do u HAVE to have a superstar on your team if you’re not gonna be any good anyways?? Whats the point?? Why is it bad to get rid of all bad contracts or avoid making new ones??? OKC literally had no one. They unload George and get SGA. They tank for a few yrs and let their homegrown picks and cheap signings develop. And now look at them. Why isnt this the model?? Why is it that you have to overpay?? Its not like Paul George was putting butts in the seats, i just dont get why ppl are making a big deal out if this

I think the limitations to roster moves has been more effective at dispersing talent than tax penalties. Steve ballmer just built a brand new arena in LA for a second fiddle team simply because he has the ability to do so. He should want a star studded team but he knows the current core is aging and not getting past the second round and probably will be surpassed by younger teams in the next couple of years. Holding onto an aging PG on a max deal just ensures they can’t trade any of their star players, even when they are missing the playoffs in two years

Jokic is a better passer by far

@m11rrrs 4 дня назад

What does that have to do with Murray having the ball in his hands to close the game 😂?

@shawnchia3611 3 дня назад

Nah Jokic keeps putting in crucial baskets himself with his uncanny floater non-stop and never let up but if u really watch 76ers games, Embiid more often than not run outta gas in the 4th and when ball is passed to him, he will pass it away again while Jokic is still relentlessly dictating the tempo of the game and wants to make the plays either by making plays or scoring himself

@m11rrrs 3 дня назад

@@shawnchia3611the problem is you’re assuming I’m slighting Jokic which I’m not. I’m talking about how Zach Lowe talks about Embiid not wanting to shoot at the end of a playoff game. He looked for Maxey instead which seems reasonable since he was playing extended minutes on a post surgery knee & Maxey was nearly unstoppable.

@808bAler 4 дня назад

The "4th year" gave the Clippers an easy way out that they were looking for. There was ZERO sense for the Clippers to have such a high payroll and PG gave them the out they wanted. PG wanted out anyway, though, so none of that matters. He wasn't on a team with a chance to compete for a Championship and is now on a contender.

@smgyro1476 4 дня назад

As a Bucks fan, if we stay healthy 🤞, I can't wait to see the team shut you guys up next year. Ignoring us like we sucked as it we didn't get multiple signiture wins, win 49 games without Giannis and Dame healthy in the final stretch of the season, while having many legitimate reasons for why we "underwhelmed" this year. Can't wait to smack the Knicks and 76ers next year on our way to a title. We got things to slove but we ARE NOT out of contention. None of you guys talked about Minnesota or the Thunder last off season and loock how good they were this year. We'll have our laugh yet

Why would they want PG back given they weren't going to go deep anyway? Getting in Jones for 3 yrs at $30 mill is a MUCH better option than a 37,38 yr old PG on $60 mill.
