Hope this is enough "Evidence" for ya VOR...
Why are the Trailblazers the worst? The Trailblazers have screwed up two superstar caliber players in past half decade - Brandon Roy (only 29 today) and Greg Oden. Doesn't get much worse than blowing it with your future. They could've been sitting on a core of Roy, Batum, Aldridge and Oden. Also, misdiagnosed Joel Przybilla's knee injury and he had to have double surgeries that basically ended his career. So that's 3 complete frick ups that turned out poorly for them as of late. Further, back in 2012 they let Aldridge play 2 MONTHS with an injured hip because "IT WENT UNNOTICED IN AN MRI." While they somehow lucked out and Aldridge managed to not do long term damage and is a beast this season, you have to admit that's pretty shoddy work. So that's why Portland is the worst in the NBA. They have had high profile guy's careers end on their watch.
Now why are the Suns the best? Because they revive and extend careers. Nash played as long as he did without getting injured and at a decent level on the Suns. Then he heads to LA, where he suddenly can't keep himself on the court and every injury nags incredulously. IF you want to believe that's a coincidence then go ahead, that's your call. But the exact same thing happened with A'mare Stoudemire in New York and Grant Hill on the Clippers. Nevertheless here's a list of veterans in their twilight years, most of whom had big injuries prior to joining the Suns that had their careers miraculously revived.
Grant Hill (played 5 more seasons)
Shaquille O'neal (played 3 more seasons)
Vince Carter (playing his 3rd season)
Michael Redd (after double ACL surgeries got another year in PHX)
Jermaine O'neal (finding new life in GSW this year)
Channing Frye (playing this year after heart surgery)
It's literally incredible the work Phoenix has done. Yeah, none of those guys came back to be superstars again, but I've seen effective games from every one of them. And the injuries these Suns players have recovered from are the ones that other teams botched. It's about results man.
So where do the Pelicans fall? Somewhere in between, VOR.
