It's not that a rookie couldn't be tasked with turning the team around, it's the fact that he was 18 when he was drafted instead of someone like Shaq who was 20 and had a few more years in college to mentally be prepared and refine his game.

Yeah 18 is too young

It's why the NBA was so shit for so long during the Warriors Cavs dominance. The one and done crap in college really hurt the product. And it's funny since they tried so hard to not allow kids coming out of high school to be drafted by a NBA team. like one year in college really changes much.

The NBA currently gives too much to attackers for the entertainment and the defenders are clowned on

I used to have Jordan as the GOAT

I'm 50/50 now with him and Lebron
Lebron is just so consistent

Usually when a mf takes 2 steps and gathers the defenders know they can close in, now they can just blow past them

The league has definitely gotten softer. Can't even look at an opposing player funny without getting a technical foul.

Mate it’s been years, over a decade. I don’t care if we lose to Canadians in 4 games and lose all our games 20-0, I’d still take a playoff game. Jeff hasn’t got much time left, he’s the player with the most games in the nhl without playing the playoffs. It’s humiliating. I don’t care if we ruin our rebuild, we should push.

Is one playoff in my lifetime too much to ask
dim kettle
Believe what you want believe. But I'm someone who likes to think about the long game. You can make the playoffs and feel happy about it, But eventually, you remember the difference between a first rate and a third rate organization is a first rate one thrives to win championships, not just make the playoffs and get a few extra money from playoff revenue.
celest zephyr
Second rate is probably like the leafs
They aren’t in it just for rings but they also want to make a run
dim kettle
Up until the last decade, they were third rate. Bunch of terrible trades, signings, hires, etc.
I could just say Tuukka Rask and be done with summing up the Leafs in the 2000s
celest zephyr
Oh I know
They were good in the 90s had one fluke run against Boston one year and then tanked until they made the playoffs
dim kettle
Sad part is the Leafs weren't even the worst team then. The Oilers used to be my punching bag around that time before McDavid.
short flame
We’re not even fourth rate team
Sure I would love to build a team that goes far, a first rate team, but I’d settle to be anywhere near. We all know Terry will fuck up at some point, we need to act fast before it’s too late. Craig doesn’t have much left, we’ll be losing our captain maybe as close as this summer, sure the young guys will stay but without the experience there they’ll just be kids in a men’s game

dim kettle
I'm at the perspective of even if we want to say he needs a better OL, he would play better with better receivers, I think there's no clear evidence he'd play any better under those circumstances. I think the question becomes, can this dude win a SB? Can he take them there. At this point, it's not about the extension itself, it's the price. Jameis wanted 30 mil when he was still on the Bucs and we laughed at him. But this dude, who's shown mid numbers throwing the ball and bare minimum with his feet want over 40 mil.

If I were the Giants rn, I'd either franchise tag him (which will make things awkward for sure) or offer less money to him. And that can't happen, I'd walk away.

Not really, and it’s awkward bc there’s so many teams and when it comes to the sport side there’s no major consequences for being bad
And there’s no real reward either
Where in the other major sports you’ll have a chance of hitting that number one pick and that number one pick being something. In MLS you can win a lotto but your draft pool isn’t anywhere near as big
Plus teams already have academies so they have players from early teen years
