Even with bottoming out, who are teams right now?

This is something I used to make fun of the Jazz for years.

Who are they trying to out?

Are they trying to wait out Victor Wimbinyama?

Like, are they trying to wait out the thunder?

What's the point?

Someone, are we going to wait out this next year's draft class?

Yeah, number one pick.

Yeah, but I'm saying we don't know where the best players come from in the draft.

I get you feel like there's a hump being in the middle that you can't get over.

Being in the middle is a bad place to be.

But I think we live in a real world where people attend basketball games and people watch basketball games and people have businesses associated with basketball games.

And it's just like you live in a real world

Building a team that you feel like is a favorite is nearly impossible.

Like, what's the Thunder's gambling gods right now?

It's like, they're barely a favorite.

Like, winning a title is impossible.

Winning a title...

where you're like one of the three teams people think is going to be a favorite, that's nearly impossible for everybody unless you get super lucky.

And I know this is all about going back to, well, we hope to get super lucky in the draft.
