Feels like the answer is never someone who already has one so it’s between guys like Tatum/Luka/Embiid/Booker/SGA
Out of that group I’d probably go with Tatum because of how stacked the Celtics are overall and how many near misses they’ve had(could also see Embiid but I don’t think anyone truly sees the Sixers roster as championship caliber or actually expects them to win this year)
It’s true that I don’t think the Clippers have any kind of realistic title shot (they may not even make the playoffs this year). However, Ballmer is really backed into a corner with this team of his, being way over the 2nd apron, having no picks left to trade this decade, and having all of his “big 4” players being free agents next summer. Is he just going to walk away from all of those players and open the new arena with a shitty team built around Mann, Hyland and Zubac? Ballmer needs to start seeing some returns for all these billions he’s spent on this team, because his alternatives to this team winning are really, really dire.
Why does he need to see returns? Isn’t he like 100 billionaire lol
Why do you think he bought the Clippers? Cause he’s a lifelong Clippers fan? As an investment? No. He bought them as a vanity project. If he spends more money than anyone in the league and his team is dogshit, that’s not doing anything for his ego.
Do you really need to have it explained why a sports team owner wants to see his team win?
