It really doesn’t mean nothing as far as the players go. But when it comes to franchise as a whole it means so much.

Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn Sources: Thunder GM Sam Presti wanted to hold the Thunder's meeting with Paul George in OKC -- with a party that's one more element to the franchise's year-long recruiting effort on George. OKC officials, George and his agent are meeting tonight.

Wait, but I thought the past that far back didn't matter because those guys 35 years ago aren't contributing anymore?



Well, first off, Boom apparently cant count, because its 4 losing seasons in the last 35 years.

83-84
99-00
01-02
05-06


Go back 1 more year and they have 5 in 36 years. And you really dont want to go further back then that because it only gets worse


Also, the best sports franchise over a 35 year time span only made it past the 1st round of the playoffs 11 times


Also,

3 losing seasons in 35 years. Best of any American sport franchise. Maybe EVER



Im guessing the 46 year span when the Yankees only had 1 losing season, went to the World Series 29 times, and won it all 20 times just cant compare to that Rocket run

or

the Lakers 36 year run where they went to the NBA Finals 16 times, won the title 10 times, and only had 3 losing seasons.

There are some amazing threads/posts on here where BayouBengals03 insisted he would be a top ten player ever/next Kobe.

I was there for that, and he held on that Wiggins bandwagon wayyyyyy too long, even after the Cavs won that title with Love.

Look, Demarcus is fun to watch from afar....but not on your own team.

Three in 34 gonzo I think we can assume a non losing season next time out. I haven’t Gone back and counted lately all I know is it’s those yanks you mentioned and then CC as far as non losing season streaks.

NBA teams paid players $3.3 billion in 2017-18. There is already $3 billion committed to players in 2018-19. The salary cap is going up by $83 million total over 30 teams. That is a cash crunch. Not a good year to be a free agent. OK, let it begin.
Quite a few guys worth a good bit will end up taking a 1 year MLE with the hopes of a bigger long term deal next offseason.

It could make for some interesting good players going to some really good teams.

Or that the Mavs having more titles than the Rockets do in the 21st century doesn't matter because no one on that Mavs team is still contributing. He's contradictory with everything he says when it doesn't benefit his argument

There are casual fans today who still believe Wiggins is a super star talent. I’m dumbfounded when speaking to them.

Andrew Wiggins is Carmelo Anthony without the polished offensive moves. Just an absolute liability on the floor.
