1624438609880264706 | @Bot_From_Russia @SalmanAliNBA Spurs, 76ers, Suns, Cavs, OKC all disagree. | 0 |
1624397330744066049 | @B10siris @SalmanAliNBA Sure. That’s fair. So we just fundamentally disagree because I think tanking is a viable strategy | 0 |
1624398430402408448 | @B10siris @SalmanAliNBA No that’s fair too. What bothers me is organizations like the Wizards, Blazers etc don’t receive the same hatred for being willing to accept literal decades of mediocrity. In my mind that’s horrible management but it goes under the radar bc hey at least they’re “trying” | 0 |
1624398979478827013 | @B10siris @SalmanAliNBA Let me add this too: building a contender is really difficult. There are only so many avenues, especially if you’re trying to avoid that mediocrity treadmill. It’s annoying that teams get thrashed so hard for taking one of the few paths available | 0 |
1624415253508358147 | @nbasportsfan30y @SalmanAliNBA He’s not saying that they aren’t bad now and you can’t talk about that. He’s saying he doesn’t understand them being seen as a generally clown/bad franchise after a very long period of sustained success and a short period of being intentionally bad. | 0 |
1624423723951443969 | @SalmanAliNBA The fact that they have shown no improvement or development, despite high draft picks, is why they are a clown show. | 0 |

1624440910489571328 | @SalmanAliNBA I think that’s how it is with big market teams. No one cares when Detroit, Orlando and Charlotte are bad, but when the Lakers/Knicks sucked they were the laughing stock of the league. | 7 |
1625313263008325632 | @SalmanAliNBA Go watch what happened in the heat game. Bam got his 4th foul and went to the bench. So Silas paralleled it and sent Sengun to the bench too. He’s just clueless | 6 |

1624451254817640448 | @SalmanAliNBA Pissed away championship window by refusing to pay tax, destroyed team by letting star force a trade over objection of elite GM, lost GM for same reason, took Green over Mobley. Taking the picks instead of Simmons is basically the only big thing they got right since Fertitta. | 3 |
