Update for Who Loves Wembanyama The Most:

East:
Orlando
Detroit
Charlotte


West:
San Antonio - Coach must be fired!! It's only fair to say that to all these bottom teams.
Houston

They can't fire Pop. But looking back he probably should have stepped down, pulled a Pat Riley and went to the front office when Duncan retired.

Exactly, everyone knows he's like Phil Jackson now.

Phil Jackson at least knew when it was time to go.

The Spurs lucked out when Robinson was out for a year and they were able to draft Duncan. And then they were ahead of their time in finding those Euro players that no one else was looking at back then (Parker and Ginoboli)

And their luck ran out when Kawhi wanted out. Pop is a great coach but at the end of the day without enough talent you are not going to win.

You may have to add the Wizards to that list. Hope Charlotte keeps their grubby paws away from him. That franchise is snake bitten.

I believe whoever gets the first pick, okc or utah will offer them 10 future firsts, maybe more.

That is such a gamble. If he ends up injured most of the time they will have traded away their future for a more nimble Sam Bowie

Haha yeah but if your okc or utah, with so many picks, its impossible to develop all of them and give them minutes, and sign all of them to big contracts. Look at what Philly wound up with the process, they tanked for so many picks and only got embiid. Everyone else was a bust. First round picks offer hope, but no garuntees. Some small market teams might trade for picks and wound up rebuilding for decades since stars dont stay, and drafting a star is very hard.

But even if they get Victor and he lives up to expectations how long will he want to be in OKC or Utah?
They days of Malone and Stockton are rare now.
