@McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle Tbh, the new CBA was designed to prevent the exploitation of this idea to increase parity in the NBA. Dilute the talent and make it harder to players to move around at will.

Can someone explain why someone gets extra credit for winning with one team? It literally makes no sense

Steph Curry: 4 Championships. 17 years. 1 Team. LeBron James: 4 Championships. 23 years. 5 Teams. People been trying to compare "LeBron James" to Michael Jordan when in actual reality he's not better than the likes of Steph Curry/Tim Duncan/Kobe Bryant etc. He's All-Time overrated and not Top-10.

@McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle But that’s literally the point, what could wilt do that the Celtics had the best roster in the league. It is luck but that’s what it is. Makes it unpredictable and hard to do.

@YAMALDREAM011 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle You mention wilt and don’t realize how much easier bill russells situation was? LMAO come on man I’m done with your garage

@McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle Now with the new CBA, it makes the outcome more challenging but in principle it’s far easier to achieve when you take into consideration the factors that restrict players from even trying to do this.
English
@McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle So in the past players were restricted to the franchise they were drafted to, the only way players could leave was through trade requests, but since LeBron that is simply a pattern across the league.
English
@McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle Examples like Kobe exist, but the opposite is also true, that’s what makes winning a title with one franchise more challenging. If the franchise messes up the roster, mismanages their trade capitol then they burn themselves the opposite is also true. It’s not up the player.
English
@McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle That’s not what the argument is about, what is harder to win a title with the franchise you’re drafted to or with multiple teams. Despite the fact we’ve spent hours talking about how uncontroballe and unpredictable it is to get drafted into a franchise, you’re still going at it.
English
@McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle How many more descriptors do you need to understand that difference?
English
@McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle When the trajectory of your career hinges on the competency of your organization that makes it inherently more difficult to win titles than having the ability to choose where you want to play. Why is that so hard for you to comprehend?
English
@McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle Having the ability to choose your team is extremely powerful and offers players far greater odds of winning because they aren’t at the mercy of management.
English
@McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle So for a player of that caliber, yes, if you’re drafted to the perfect team conditions success will come. But the opposite is also true. The difference is, free agency allows players to line themselves with the team that maximizes their odds of winning a title .
English
@McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle Kobe, Duncan, Jordan, and Curry are all success stories. LeBron, Garnett, Malone, Ewing, etc are examples of those who failed because they never become good enough.
English
@McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle The question in point is what is harder, to stick to one franchise or win with multiple teams. The reason why it’s harder to win with one franchise is because players who win with multiple teams CHOOSE to join pre-built teams that are already established contenders.
English
@McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle So between these two, clearly picking where to play, where you can screen for the best possible destination makes it easier to win a championship than riding out with one franchise that can collapse with one poor decision.
English
@McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle LeBron and players alike, filter teams out who failed to build and choose the best option. Players that stick to one franchise are bound to the managerial outcomes of the general managers, regardless of talent, if they don’t do their jobs or are unlucky, they’re stuck with that.
English
@McDaddy9397 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle That’s the basis of the argument… Are you deliberately being incompetent? That’s literally why winning with one franchise is harder than winning with multiple teams. Players have no control over anything which makes it vastly more difficult to win than joining a pre built roster
English
@YAMALDREAM011 @Tekae0 @freebxlmain @Bryce_Estelle Makes zero sense. Dirk would’ve never won if he was drafted to Minnesota. Neither would jordan or lebron honestly. You don’t understand sports
