I simply feel like SH thought it was bad strategy to try to be good before you get a super star, and Boston thought it smarter to improve as they prepared for a super star. Sure they had different starting points, but I think SH fell for the perfect is the enemy of good trap.

IT and BS weren’t accidents though. Those two were deliberately chosen by a GM who wasn’t allergic to making his team better as they looked for their superstar.

how many first rounders have the 76ers had since Boston got their four from the nets? At least three?

He didn’t say it was a bad thing. He’s just sharing information.

I want to bring Boston up to Sam Hinkie defenders. Danny Ainge was almost as well known for stockpiling assets as Sam Hinkie, but he just seemed to work so much better and faster.

Dwight Howard 2004-2012 and was the anchor for a team that could have won one of those championships. Ray Allen Milwakee then Seattle from 95 to 2007. You could go on and…

I think a flaw in this argument is that barely any teams (period) have won championships. It’s not like there’s parity among the large market teams. After Jordan, there have been 17 championships. The Lakers have 5 of them. The Spurs (from a small market) have 5 of them. Miami has 3 of them. That leaves four…

The season is too long. There are too many teams. Conferences are arbitrary in a way that lets unwatchable teams into the playoffs. The initial rounds of the playoffs are too long. Hack-a-blank should be abolished.
