Arizona is just a sad sad place. 1 championships between the Suns, the Cardinals, the Diamondbacks, and Coyotes.

Arizona St. is the most interesting thing to watch in Phoenix.

Presti has a lot of fans but they are generally the Madden/2K style fans. Win or tank. Entertain us in the season OR off-season.
OKC had a ton of talent when they flat lost to the 2011 Mavs with KD/Harden./Westbrook/Ibaka... I mean lord.
But Presti hasn't been back to doing any winning since 2014. That is a LONG time.
He misread the Westbrook/Harden stuff badly then lost KD for nothing.
I am sorry but I can't co-sign a dude with so few scalps in 8 years.
And this has nothing to do with LeBron because OKC couldn't advance to face LeBron.

SGA is a solid player but he is most definitely not a star YET. He's missing a ton of games yearly and his 25,5,5 is coming for teams winning 25 games or less.
And he's made zero all star games much less all NBA games.

OKC is def small market and they do need to hit on draft picks but they are collecting non lottery picks almost no one wants.
Giddey may end up a player but they drafted like 6 guys last draft and I have heard of exactly one: Giddey. And Josh has to learn to shoot it. 41% FG and 26 3PT won't cut it.
There are only so many roster spots. Selecting 3 or 4 R1 guys a year is going to fail as you are guaranteeing pay days but don't have the roster spots.

I can see why the OKC job is tough and I can see why they aren't firing him but I can;t see why any other fan base would be clamoring for him.
His last All NBA draftee was old man James Harden.

But such is the story for nearly all small market teams…they rise up and then their players get poached by big market teams the second they are available for a new contract. That’s part of the reason it’s feast or famine with small market teams. Same with coaches. Their window to win is small and usually has to come with drafted players or some kind of combo with moneyball moves. But even then it’s hard to overcome superstar power in the nba

Worries about my Dubs.

Mavs match well against them; took 3 of 4 this year head-to-head and 5 of the last 7 dating back to 2020.

I think the Mavs have too much length for the Dubs.

I think for the Dubs to win this out they’ll need at least two vintage Steph performances in this series.

I really think this is a great final 4. You look up and down these rosters and you see a ton of home grown talent

Karma hits back to at least 2 teams. When you don't play with class and integrity, you go home. Bye bye, Memphis and Phoenix.

Yeah you'll be back next year, but this year is now.

Learn and mature.
