Predict the Rudy Gobert trade

The Spurs are a prideful team… when built on tanking they won like 4 titles… when not bottoming out because of pride they are stuck in the middle with one borderline AS.

You can have pride and be intelligent… they aren’t antonyms

They tanked one year and hit a generational talent in Duncan lol. Hardly the rule more like a once in a blue moon exception.
 
GS didn't tank until they had already drafted Curry and Klay.

Boston never really tanked. They just were awful then drafted well.

San Antonio tanked one time but only because they had major injuries.

Nobody has traded away good players to tank then turned that into some success story.

Holy **** this is wrong wrong wrong. Boston literally trade all stars to rebuild and were fortunate enough they didn’t have to tank for years cuz the picks they got by trading said all stars hit.

GS has tanked… multiple times. Warriors opted to let Baron walk and rebuild… allowed them to draft Steph… they tanked in the Barnes year… they tanked two years ago but ****ed up the pick… their culture is going just fine.

SA got Duncan by tanking blatantly… they got Robinson by being bad… that’s two number 1 picks and 4 titles.

If you hit when you tank you don’t have to keep tanking. You also don’t have to intentionally lose if you acquire other teams draft assets… it can be a short bottom out.

It’s almost the only way a non-glamour market can win at the highest levels and y’all are like “that winning titles **** is for losers… “
 
I mean GS literally traded a healthy monta Ellis for an injured Andrew bogut… held Steph Curry out… so they could blatantly lose. Bogut and Barnes proved very valuable in their title runs and they had zero issues with culture. It’s laughable to stare at the sun and say the sun doesn’t exist.

Except it’s not. Finals participants are LARGELY made up of guys that are drafted in the top 5 and the only way we get those guys is in the draft because we aren’t the Lakers or Miami.

They blatantly tanked when we had their pick.
 
I mean Boston never traded away players for talent and tanked except the current time they did to get all their all star talent and go to the finals 1x and conference finals 3x… GTFO

Lol I literally have said that multiple times before. The last what 12 Finals winners had one of these guys:

LeBron
Curry
Giannis
Kawhi
Durant

All top-5 guys.
 
You can literally go read books about how tanking works (bottoming out or whatever you want to call it). That’s what the nba doesn’t want you to think though. Winning a title is hard… all routes will lead to failure… but drafting very high in the lotto is proven… how does one draft high… they either suck or get lucky or both.
