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.”

I think saying clueless or something to that effect is too mean, its more like wish fulfillment or regular fan delusion but the most common and egregious one is "if he learns to shoot" or "he doesn't even need to learn to shoot" or some variation of it. This isn't about any single player specifically although it applies to many now and in the past. No other sport has this kind of phenomenon, the most important part of the entire game and people treat it as a minor inconvenience that can be bypassed and yet every single year in the playoffs guys who are even mediocre and even average 3 point shooters are exposed and completely ignored by defenses and it works.
