    Miami and the Spurs are riding a lot on past reputations IMO. But i don't know that its that off for them to be considered in the top third or so of front offices in the league.

    Warriors are definitely riding on their old reputation. They are looking at the same cliff we were heading toward if without Luka.

    I feel like the Knicks are too high as well, but I suppose when I think about where that franchise was, they've done a good bit to right the ship.

    With Walter, we might actually have a shot at appearing on one of these lists in the future lol

    More like he OK'd her firing her brothers from jist of the reporting out there. Don't imagine he minded with them casting dissenting votes to selling him majority ownership.

    They need to burn all the NBA Cup courts along with our cursed jerseys that hopefully we sent home to Kurt.

    All of them are an eye sore and they're an injury risk. A few teams have had issues with them.

    If Silver wants a casual watcher to know it's a cup game then have them CGI those god awful colors onto the court. often those damn things are so bright you have to watch the game with sunglasses on.

    I’m just gonna say this. Teams hate the Lakers. This is b*******. How the f*** you trade Anthony Davis and Max Christie for Luka Doncic and don’t get into the top 10??????

    Luka Doncic let that set in. Leading the League in scoring and MVP candidate.

    that fleecing come on now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    These guys play selfish sometimes. The ball just doesn’t move. So said player decides he’s going to buy in and play within the structure of the team. And then said player says f*** it you know what. I’m getting all the shots again. But hey we were winning the other way. So f*** that.

    Their starters can sit out 4th quarters every game. It's actually pretty scary... and they still have that tennants pick :(

    well that’s a big deal. He’s not a part of this team. But he has a pretty significant player who is a part of this team.

    is he talking for LeBron being a mouthpiece? I mean He should just shut up but that would be too easy right. I mean we’re 2nd in the conference. What are we suppose to do. I know Rich let’s trade Austin Reaves and Ayton and Hachimura and our 2028 unprotected 1st round draft pick for Gianiss. So you can get a big 3 that’s awesome.

    zero defense
    zero bench

    if it weren't for smart shooting the lights out, this would've been a 30 pt blowout. this team is a pretender

    Vando should be back in the rotation, Rui should come off the bench, and Smart should start.

    No perimeter speed on display again. Until we trade for that, thiero, smith, or even vando need to take minutes from gabe and rui.
