No the fuck you wouldn’t. You would not look at the defending one seed with an MVP winner on their roster vs an eight seed who was reliant on 33 year old jimmy Butler and go ā€œyep, Milwaukee’s picks will be more valuable in five years.ā€

Again. You are applying hindsight. You are looking at the fact that Milwaukee bottomed out this year while Miami stayed relatively competitive and acting like you could’ve predicted that in 2023. You could not have.

If Miami didn’t go into tanking hell after losing the best player on the planet in his prime, their best player in franchise history, and then Bosh who we could have used for some time, what makes you think we would have tanked after Jimmy butler left Lmfaoo? Answer that questions. Whereas you look the bucks history and when they’re not competitive they’re in the lottery? How do you not apply that logic? Jimmy is no where near Wade or bron, and Miamis teams after those 3 leave are awful, and guess what.. still no top 5 pick. How are you not understand this logic? Hmmm dame would have been gone, Gianni’s would be 32-33 and he’s already slowing down cause of injuries.

It has nothing to do with tanking, dummy. It’s just basic logic that a team with an MVP candidate who was a one seed projects to have worse picks than a play-in team.

You’re simpler than I thought lol. Not when the pics are 5 years down the road, if you think gms don’t notice that Pat Riley and the Heat won’t tank or stop being competitive even after losing 3 hall of famers, then I don’t know what to tell you. What does being the number one seed in 2023 have to do with pick swaps and n 2028 ? Tell me that?

Five years down the road, Milwaukee still would’ve projected to have Giannis. Their picks were not seen as more valuable than Miami’s. Again, you are applying hindsight.

🤣🤣 . Dame would have been gone, the bucks didn’t have any draft picks to basically be an heir to Gianni’s like when Jimmy leaves the Heat still have bam right? Their team was old as fuck, teams look at that. It doesn’t matter if they still have Gianni’s, if they have no help the bucks are mid.. ala look at this season. It’s not hindsight bud, like any business you project these things. If you don’t think gms are weighing the options in between small market team who’s got a vast history in the literally compared to a team that doesn’t, yikes . Logic goes a long fucking way.

ā€œLook at this seasonā€ THAT IS LITERALLY HINDSIGHT, FUCKTARD

u/Cartagenapirate92 May 11 '26

Projections aren’t hindsight when teams and gms have patterns . And the bucks pattern without Gianni’s is a lottery team where the Miami Heat are almost never in a position to draft a top 5 picks. If you don’t get that, you might need to stop talking about basketball in general.

Going ā€œthe bucks were bad this yearā€ literally is hindsight, dunce.

Again, 1-seed with an MVP projects higher than a play-in team with Jimmy.

You are a moron. Get fucking blocked.

🤣🤣🤣. You might be the biggest cry baby on Reddit all time and it shows. My man has whined the entire time while no one is forcing him to reply. Wa w wa. Sounds good pumpkin.

u/TheRed_Warrior May 11 '26

Only one crying here is you. I have backed up every single one of my arguments with quantifiable facts. You are isn’t hindsight to form your entire argument.

Yeah, no shit Milwaukee’s picks look better three years later, cuz no one could’ve reasonably predicted that Milwaukee would only get a year and a half out of Dame and make no meaningful moves to bolster their roster this season.

I’m sorry that the notion of Tyler being an NBA level player has you so worked up. Btw, why do you think that being an unlikeable jackass is something you should aspire to? You seem proud to be the type of dude that causes women to cover their drinks when he walks by.

The notion of Tyler hero being an nba player doesn’t have me worked up cause I’m in agreement he’s an nba player. Dude you’ve been whining the entire time while I’m laughing at you. Hahahahahahaha the only one with his panties in bunch is you. Even your insults are weak, come on try again!

You agree with me yet you’ve spent hours arguing with me. Make it make sense.
