OKC- Tons of young talent. Best GM in the business arguably. Solid coaching.
Indiana- Ditto young talent. Great Coach. Going all in with this group. Alpha mentality.
Pistons- Pistons fans aren't fooled. They know who they are.

1. Mavericks...(should try & trade for Herb Jones)
2. Thunder...(should try & trade for Herb Jones)
3. Nuggets...(should try &...aww...nevermind)

Anyway..."sell high" & many think DD is as good a defender as Herb...and they may be right that you can't have both those guys on the court at the same time. Who knows which one will end up being better on the offensive end. Should get great return for Herb, while he's hot...especially from a team like OKC...since I think they have something like eleventy billion draft picks... over the next few years.

OKC

They have an actual superstar who has the dawg in him…who has grown with the franchise. Been through all the shite and coming out the other side.

They have a clear number 2 and 3 and supporting cast. Drafted well… tonnes of picks.

Blah blah blah

They’re setup so well that if they can’t pull it off, then I have no faith in us. It’s amazing how they did everything right and we did everything so wrong.

They stockpiled draft picks. We wasted so many assets on win now moves.

They let their star blossom quietly. We had nonstop drama with Zion that we couldn’t contain.

They have a system their players buy into. We change identity constantly.

Houston Rockets need to be mentioned as well tbh

But probably OKC if I am ranking them.

OKC has ran circles around us since moving there

Drafted their generational talent player and
Drafted 2 league MVPs to put next to him…didn’t work out but can’t blame the organization

And now fire saled and rebuilt faster than us and they did it a year after we drafted Zion

SGA is better than his cousin who we drafted and better than Ingram who we traded a generational talent to get

It’s just so disappointing. To see not just 1 but several small market teams have so much more success

Outside of 1 CP3 season we have arguably been as bad as the Hornets/Bobcats

Maybe not jealous, but I'm certainly aggravated by how different things could have been with us and Cleveland.

We gave up the #4 pick in 2019 that they used to get Garland while we selected Jackson and NAW.

We traded a 1st and 2 seconds for Steven Adams and extended him at 17 million. 2 months later, Cleveland traded a 1 and a 2nd for Jarrett Allen and extended him for 20 million.

We've spent 3 years and multiple picks trying to obtain what was right there in front of us. It's not really jealousy of Cleveland, just frustration with my own team.

Not so much a team but the teams coach.
Willie has had 2 seasons to figure out a rotation and still has not .
He can't be fixed.

If Trey is not the sub for zion he need to be on the court to knock down shots when zion pulls a double team
I assume Willie dosent look at the film
If zion is not ball dominant he sits still and nobody respects his shooting out side of 8foot

Add on to that- one’s with competent head coaches, administration staff and owners.

Easy OKC, they have a true star guard (SGA), a versatile defensive big who is young and looks like he's going to be a good number 2 (Chet), and a wing who looks like he's going to be a good number 3 (J dub), along with a bunch of good role players.

Cavs because they have several players on their team I’ve been saying for years for us to get or draft. Everyone single one Griff had a chance to get but passed. They have a better team and had way way less resources than Griff to build it. Shows how bad Griff fricked this team.

J. Allen, Spider, Garland and Lauri M before they traded him.

100% OKC, but Indiana, Houston, Sacramento, Minnesota among others are good ones.

OKC has ran circles around us since moving there

Since they've lost Durant, we've won a playoff series and they haven't, and we have a more recent playoff appearance than they do.

Better positioned today than us? Sure, but in the past 4 years they haven't run circles around us like you would think.

I don’t know about Houston or Sacramento.

Not like Houston has a bunch of picks and Sengun is a good player but not sure hes a number one option. I do like their coaching and culture.

The Kings play hard, fun and fast but the team is maxing out its talent and doesn’t really have many assets to improve without trading pieces of their core.

I had mentioned Houston because based off of mostly their head coach, they've had a huge jump from where the were the past few years, even though they were struggling lately. If Jalen Green can somehow turn it around (though not sure he does), I'd look out for them.

We have been comparing futures with OKC for as long as I can remember and they're 3rd in the West while we sit at 8th. Need I say more

You trying to get Herb traded off so you can switch fan bases? 2 years is actually about the shelf life of an average Pels fan.
