You're right. We should hang all hope on drafting lucky multiple times and praying God will keep players in SLC.
That's so much better than a system where freezing *** cold Green Bay racks up championships & has a fighting chance every year.
Tampa Bay Rays championship anyone? Colorado Rockies World Series? Minnesota Twins?
Low parity, low competition, Fire^99!
Can't compare NFL and NBA, too different.
In the NBA if you don't have a top 10 player you are not winning anything. It's just how it is in a 5 on 5 game like basketball.
And we very much do need to hope we draft one because we aren't getting one like the Heat did.
Look at the last 20 or so years for example. The champ teams best player was drafted by that team.
Jordan, Olajuwon, Duncan, Kobe, Dirk.
So the Heat are the ones who got the guy via FA. The rest drafted the great player, surrounded him with the best squad they could and had great coaching.
I think that's what is making so many of us crazy. We want to know what we have in our young guys. Can Favors be a DPOY? Or not?
What do we have in Burks in Kanter? How good can they be.
We know what we have in al and Paul and we won't have them next year most likely. Yet our coach wants to put a cinder block on these young guys head.
We won't even make it past the first round with this starting lineup. At least I our young guys are great we could pull a Pistons and get far.
I think it's his so uninteresting to watch Ala dn Paul and the other vets taking the majority of minutes. It's not just a treadmill team it's a DI treadmill team. Defines mediocre. That =boring IMO.
Just my 2 cents.
