I want hear your hot takes on what team you wish blew it up. Maybe bc their always mid, have 1-2 all stars but no viable path to championship, aging team, or just a cluster f.
Chicago please start over
No team should blow it up, tanking is spineless, try your best you cowards
… didn’t MEM tank the year they traded Gasol and then drafted Ja?
Not specifically Gasol, they already won 22 games in Gasol’s last full season, and were not much better the next one. They traded him only a moment before his contract was expiring, on the trade deadline day, getting a return of Valanciunas, CJ Miles and Delon Wright - all experienced players.
Lakers. Lebron still has some value but it could disappear with any new injury or a probable steep decline at his age and AD has been proven to not be a true #1.
Even though the Bulls are a rebuild ticking time bomb, there is a lot of time before the trade deadline, and too many young players presently maturing and growing their game.
Like, we’ll end up trading Dosunmu, and then watch him suddenly become an All-Star on another team… Markkanen-style. or like Oladipo to the Pacers.
I fucking loved oladipo. He was like god to me when he was at IU. Then he said fuck indiana and missed out on like 100m. Hah
76ers
The only upside to the current trajectory of the Hawks is being able to retire Trae’s number when he retires.
Trash it and start fresh
Bulls and Raptors. I’m also gonna say 76ers.
Philly if Embiid doesn’t want to stay
Any time this question gets asked it needs to ask who else besides the Bulls needs to blow it up.
