Personally, I feel like there should be an official NBA rule, that states: If a team is bad for more than 5 years there should be a fine. Yes, I’m serious. You’re just collecting NBA revenue, while getting over on fans. In no particular order, here’s a list of teams who have been either shitty organizations, or kept a horrible rosters for far too long.:
Nets
I don’t even know where to begin, and I don’t have all night. If this organization doesn’t care enough then I don’t either. But this Franchise is the hottest of messes right now.
Magic
Just like your mascot, this organization make no sense. The magic got rid of Stan Van Gundy, after making him the scapegoat of Dwight Howard’s defection. As a result, are going on their 5th straight year of losing. They rarely get draft picks right, and the rarely have a competitive roster. They literally have a roster that features 5 of the same types of player on it. And don’t get me started on the guy with the hat
Kings
How Ironic, the kings got instant karma…. errr… became a crappy team after they got rid of Rick Adleman. 7 years of winning under his leadership, followed by 10 years of losing — without him. I’m the current President & CEO of the “Free Boogie” movement. Before he got there the Kings were inept. Since he got there, the have failed him year after year.Just look at these draft picks:
Pelicans
I debated whether to put New Orleans on this list. They did make the playoffs once in the last 6 years. But the operative word is, ONCE. Guess it was an anomaly. Outside of that one year, the Pelicans front office has failed to surround Anthony Davis with any talent since he joined the team in 2012. The organization seems to be continuing it’s downward trend. I’m ready to start the “Free Anthony Davis” Movement.
Knicks
We all know what’s wrong with the Knicks. Two men are standing in the way of that franchises’ success. The key to fixing them is here.
Minnesota
12 season of losing. 12 freaking years. How many fines does this organization deserve. From horrible draft choices, to not developing an identity in over a decade. The Timberwolves are a dumpster fire.
The same organization who drafted Ricky Rubio and Johnny Flynn over Step Curry, currently has a young talented nucleus and can’t figure out how to win — or surround them with any talented veterans to teach them!
Hahahahaha. If teams are penalized or fined, what do you suggest it be? Lost of a draft pick? Money?

I don’t know a THING about sports – except for how awesome Jimmy Butler is and I want to marry him. 😀 Anyway lol. I saw this article and thought of you guys. I don’t know if you agree with the outlook but I thought the concept was pretty clever (and relevant to your blog theme).

I agree with you about those teams. Brooklyn Nets especially are doing terrible. Only 9 wins so far this season is horrible. They definitely need to get their act together.

They should be fined to make the process faster

Yeah I do agree. But sometimes its harder for these teams to land a superstar in trade or free agency. Like Sacramento or New Orleans they have stars in Cousins and Davis but as they are small market teams its harder for them to land another superstar.

Sacramento is horrible at drafting tho. They’very made probably 2 good picks in 20 years. Both teams need better scouts
