For example, Lebron saying Shabazz Napier was his favorite pick in the 2014 draft.

I once proclaimed The Simmons & Embid duo was going to be more dangerous than Stockton & Malone.

Totally reasonable, I remember the time when people were making jokes about the pelicans who were doing well and they also had the Lakers pick. Seeing the final standings it felt like the Lakers really took it personal lol

I think it’s hilarious how even after the lakers won a chip bc of the AD trade, people were still acting like the pelicans won it for a bit

Theoretically if the Lakers had been bad, then the Pelicans won the lottery with their pick. You could make a good argument the Pels won the trace

If the Bucks win the chip this year then struggle next year with injuries or fall off entirely, that’s still a win of a trade for Dame. I believe even 1 championship is worth 1-10 bad seasons after. And I think most GMs happily take 3ish years of a championship window if it meant semi-mortgaging the future.

The Raptors sold their souls for a ring in 2019 and they’ve been mediocre ever since (apart from the year after Kawhi left). As a raps fan I don’t regret a single thing.
