Premium Member sturt Posted February 5, 2020 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I'm made to think to myself how surprised I would be to find that a thread titled sturt's thoughts on team building would receive more than a few views, let alone replies.... same, if I posted one titled Ask sturt... probably even less. That's all. Carry on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bleachkit Posted February 5, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 The tanking vs non tanking argument is overrated. It's about hitting on your draft picks and your free agent signings, and Miami has done a good job of that. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, that's fine. As long as there's no limit on word count, maybe I should give it a try.

Moderators macdaddy Posted February 5, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 It really comes down to preference. I'd much rather tear down and build up than just be competitive every year. Neither method is guaranteed to make you a contender. Fun to argue i guess....to a point.

KB21 Posted February 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 35 minutes ago, NBASupes said: Gotta love KB, when wrong, don't acknowledge, move the goalpost or act like he never said it at all Actually, what's happening is those who argued with me and are wrong will not admit that they were wrong. I've been correct about this rebuild every step of the way. There is absolutely nothing about this rebuild that I have been wrong about. Not a single thing. Don't forget that I told you it would be year 5 before this team regressed to the mean and started looking like a lower level playoff team. Here we are, year three, and there is no hope for a playoff drive in year four without significant veteran additions. You guys should just take your loss and move on. The Hawks chose the wrong path to rebuild. It's really that simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So was trading for Capela a "major move" to improve competitiveness so as to void our bet or are we on for next year? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually try to be on the opposite side in these bets where I lose if the player or team exceeds expectations but my bet and rooting interests will totally align here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the build-up actually works. That's where we're at now, of course. We're on the cusp over the 20-21 and 21-22 seasons to learn whether we've gained something better than the trajectory/treadmill we were on before.

So, who are we going to draft in the 2021 lottery since it is apparent that Travis Schlenk will not do anything to improve the team for now. Please admit you were wrong about this. So we can all finally see you say you were wrong about something! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
