Which Will Be Easier: Competing for a Title

[HermanG]

Prior to the season we had people on here excited about the prospect of the Mavs being so bad they would have to trade us Luka!

I was hopeful as well and thought the Kyrie and Luka combo wont work (two defensively limited stars). But adding Lively, Gafford and Washington really turned that boat 180.

But fact is no team in the West was a world beater last season. I bet one or more will be 3 years from now.

Winning a title is really hard. The greatest player of all-time only has won 4 titles.

I get the Wemby thing. But in the era of super-teams, if the Spurs aren't title-worthy in the next 1-3 years, I suspect we'll run into some other ungodly collection of talent that could be equally formidable.

I went with 4-6 years from now based on that's when I think our team will be the most competitive, regardless of what happens with Lauri in the next month.

Yep. Future is hard to predict.

Yeah but if you don't absolutely hit on a top 20 caliber player in the next two drafts then that 4-7 year window isn't some magical spot

Yep. Building a contender isn't easy, no doubt.

We are in a spot (assuming Lauri re-signs) where if we hit on a top 5 pick in this year's draft we could have the blue chip prospect, Lauri, and a host of young promising prospects, infinity cap space, and a bunch of assets to play with. Trying to duct tape together a winner with the brandon Ingrams of the world is gonna get us in the neighborhood of the Sacramento Kings... be patient. Wemby ain't winning all the titles in a few years. That ain't how this works.

This is one of the best posts I’ve read on this board in a long time.

Then you have to trade Sexton?

This. There will be more Brandon Ingrams to be had in other off seasons.
