Interested to see if Kyrie says anything once he learns some of Adelson’s history.

Can he? Yes.

Will he? Nobody knows.

well, this doesn’t work… so I guess that means according to you the ASG is not a joke.

Or you just have no clue what you are talking about, which is likely the case.

The reason “win now” can work is because 1/2 the teams are out of contention before the season starts.

If all 30 teams draft from scratch right now, the 30 teams would be much more balanced – making “win now” very difficult.

It would be smarter to build for the future.

However, if everyone thought that, the meta would be to draft for win now I suppose. But I expect most owners would be trying for big names now, so I’d still go future.

Let’s just pretend everything you said is true.

Nepotism cost me an NBA career.

Nope. Persecution complex cost you an NBA career. You could have used that moment to motivate you to work harder. You could have walked-on for a college team and continued your path.

You are not in the NBA because you chose to focus on who else to blame instead of overcoming a hurdle.

95% of the players in the NBA had to overcome hurdles to get there. If any of them had instead focused on who to blame for their struggles, they too would not be in the NBA.
