Ok Clippers Kings is a blood bath.

Pistons Lakers 1/2 thru 3rd q is close.

If you can even call it a rebuild lol.

They’ve only had one top 5 pick. Didn’t even have a draft pick in 2022. The median pick selection for them in the last 4 years has been in the mid 20’s as well :lol:

But to be fair to them, 12-20 in the west is probably the equivalent of a .500 team in the east.

They’ve actually had a lot of picks. They’ve just whiffed badly on many of them. Hendricks, Collier, Williams. It’s one thing to get picks but you have to cash in on them. Hendricks and Williams were top 10 picks.

Bailey is an interesting prospect. But overall, they’ve just done a horrible job at acquiring talent.

And they aren’t going to fool anyone with this current core of George and Markkanen. lol.

Name me those picks then. That’s not a real rebuild lmao, that’s a team treading. Lauri should have been traded years ago. Ainge just sits on his ass lmao. Him and Masai went from great GM’s to being passed by.

Are you seriously questioning whether or not they rebuilt?

They gutted their team man. They had no one left. You think Ainge was trying to win with Jordan Clarkson, Sexton and Markkanen? lol.

They won 37 games in the 2022-2023 season lmao. They had a better net rating than us when we had FVV, Siakam, Scottie, Poeltl and OG. :lol:

WHILE being in the west where it's significantly harder to win compared to us in the east.

They won 31 games in 2023-2024. They won more games than us DESPITE Scottie having an all star year and having OG and Siakam for the first 30 games.

Last year was the first time they actually tried to lose every game and this season they're already at 12 wins and it isn't even 2026 yet. :lol:

That's not a franchise trying their hardest to win the lottery the last 4 years lmao.

Love that Utah has been doing this with "the great Ainge" and has OKC, Houston, Denver, Spurs...and now Flagg to deal with so won't ever get anywhere.

Is San Antonio a legit championship contender? Year 4 of this rebuild and they got a great team.

Ridiculous commentary.
