What are common one liners that clueless fans of an NBA team often use? (alien.top)

I get so bored of the fans making critical comments about their teams. And they tend to think their front office and players aren’t trying and that they could do better. I’m curious what are the comments you see that often make you roll your eyes? I’ll start:

“The Jazz’s FO doesn’t care about winning, otherwise they would have traded player X for player X.”

"timeline." A completely hollow term that fans just throw around constantly but it doesn't actually mean anything. A fan of a 20 win team talking about not wanting to sign a 26 yo FA cause they're "old" and doesn't fit their "timeline." I swear some fans legit think you can just build a roster of 20 year old's and sim the next 5 seasons irl.

"Timelines" only exist when you have an established superstar in his prime. Like the Bucks can't trade Khris for a raw 19 year old, even if they are guaranteed to become an all star at 26, because by then it's too late for Giannis.

Felt like I was going insane during the dame trade saga and the Toronto rumors, there were people saying OG doesn’t fit the blazers timeline.

As a Nuggets fan watching this team come into its own there were people crying about Paul Millsap getting signed a few years ago because he was older. It is vital for young budding stars to have wisened vets and it is now important for top heavy contenders to fill in their roster with rookie contracts. There are plenty of other roster issues (like getting mediocre starters to come in and take minutes from developing players), but that isnt about timeline as much as not having a good vision for the future.
