You mean it already hasn't?
They screwed themselves in the offseason the second they panicked and got rid of all their role players to trade for Hassan Whiteside for some reason.
I mean, did they really? They were on a fast track to nowhere and took a risk to improve. Will it pay off? **** knows, but it was worth a shot. Plenty of people here bent themselves over backwards to explain away our horrific start, but won't extend the same courtest to PTB. I have no invested interested in them, but the arrogant hypocrisy really bothers me. Double standards really annoy me. Let's see how the season actually plays out.
PS. On a side note: I'm happy for Melo, and I know it's an unpopular opinion. I was a kid (12 years old) when he came into the league, and I remember the Melo vs. LeBron debate within the first couple years. He's been way too vocal and a black hole, but I hope he's able to find a role and finish his career with dignity.
