This could be for a multitude of reasons: rivalry, you don’t like their players, you want to trade for their players, etc.
For example, aside from wanting the Celtics to fail for obvious reasons, I’m praying on the Raptors’ downfall because if they suck at the deadline then we can try to trade for OG
I don’t even have to pray, it’s happening in real time. Old heads ain’t gunna make it.
