So the Lakers held on to guys like Kobe and Pau for too long past their primes after their 2009-2010 run and they ended up getting nothing for them and were mediocre for years. They were fortunate Lebron wanted to go there but it’s very clear that the 2020 run was the only title they were getting out of it. Instead of trading Lebron and AD for picks again the Lakers just want these guys to retire Lakers instead of starting the eventual rebuild earlier.

Spurs last run was 2014. But they doubled down with Lamarcus Aldridge. Held on to Tony, Manu and Duncan till the end. And only now in 2023 almost a decade later have they finally drafted a new franchise cornerstone player in Wemby. But it’s still going to take a few years.

Warriors last run obviously 2022. Last year showed how much they have declined. Yet bring in old Chris Paul with Klay and his shot knees. Why not trade Draymond and Curry while they have something left?

Warriors need draft picks. The sooner they begin the rebuild the sooner they will be back. This ain’t a championship team.

    Spurs had a 24 year old superstar on the rise when they signed LMA. The 2016 Spurs won 67 games and were 40-1 at home only losing to the Warriors

    They want easy solutions and I get it, Steph in his Prime, don’t want to lose him to another team.

    No, I think you’re overreacting to a bad start. Clearing out the core to a dynasty mid-season would go down as one of the stupidest moves ever.

    The warriors are irrelevant. I don’t think about them at all.

    I’ll go down the Draymond, Klay, and Curry until the end.
