Much easier to rebuild in baseball than it is in the NBA. Draft is much deeper, stars matter way more in basketball, etc. We’re not in a rush to be good anytime soon anyway, so I see no point in being angry that we are rebuilding - because that’s exactly what it is. High picks, youth, move forward.
Plus, no salary cap in baseball so the Yankees can just bring in wheelbarrows of money to FA meetings
If there was no salary cap in the NBA, we'd never miss a Finals
Yankees aren't winning games and competitive because of high priced players. Judge, Sanchez, Bird, Castro, Severino... these are all key players that are young. We had a good farm system.
We've been trash for about 20 seasons now, excluding one season. How long does it take to grab a good young player?
But it is easier to build around young players when you have the financial backing they have, no? The Yanks are spending 85 million this year on players older than 30 who aren't really contribuiting (I don't think, not a huge baseball guy), plus 21 million to Chapman who my Yankee fan friend complains about all the time
And it takes a long time sometimes. Just look at the Wolves, haven't made the playoffs since 04, gone through 2 whole rebuilds, and only drafted one player in that entire time they could build around (KAT, Wiggins wasn't drafted by them and they traded away LaVine and Dunn). Magic too, have been rebuilding since the Dwight trade 5 years ago, still no real contender chances anytime soon. Suns as well.
Granted, it helps when you have draft picks, but rebuilding is a slow process
This guy doesn't belong in the NBA. And I guess we got Beasley on this team because he has braids and his game is similar to Melo's?
