When the trio of Durant, Beal & Booker flames out, some of those pick saps are going to be worth solid gold. Their team building strategy seems so erratic that it feels like it’s bound to fail.

It doesn’t matter. If you’re the GM, better build your team and legacy now (or at least attempt to) and let the next guy clean up your mess.

I wonder how many of these GMs push these decisions knowing precisely their shelf-life in that gig.

To piggyback off this, how many GMs took a long-term approach and did their best to balance current needs without mortgaging the future, but ended up not having enough success to keep their job, they get fired, then sit around thinking they should have “spent” future assets more lavishly to have a better legacy? I’d imagine at this point it’s going to become a standard and GMs will think there’s no point in prioritizing a future you’re not a part of, and if you can secure the present, it will get you to the future and then you cross those bridges when or if you get there.

At the same time those 3 dudes you mentioned have some amazing potential to work and they might win a championship.
They are definitely not ****ing around. They are going all in and respect it.
I mean if the jazz were to acquire any of those three players we would probably all be pretty happy if it made us contenders.
Their future is good and ****ed though.
