TRIGGER WARNING
*Read at your own risk
Rookies that aren't stars in their first few seasons are labeled busts.
90% of the area bandwagons or just bickers about being the armchair GM.
When players sign here out of their own free agency, they get chased out of town more than 90% of the time if the team they play for doesn't win a title.
A title is a 0.3% chance every year for every team in the NBA, and that title is the metric that is considered a success for most fans, because they are mostly bandwagoners. Any positive discussion is considered homerism, waaay more than a healthy near-50% pessimism. If you're the GM that builds the dynasty, your widow gets booed on tribute night.
0.3% chance, so one title per 30 years are the most absolute baseline of odds. The odds increase and decrease based on the available perameters, and fanbases are most certainly one, a VERY BIG ONE.
toxic and impatient
Everyone sees the constraints from the owners group(yes group, JR is the figurehead and a minority share), yet, they huff and puff all day about the GM with very little sympathies to the constraints. The scale is either construct a miracle on one side or fire their ass on the other, polarized to an extreme. Here's the funny thing (yes you will need to put all these details into memory to calculate a solid opinion, not omit and cherry pick details, if you're capable of such, ignore this PA comment), the Knicks are thrown out here, yep, toxic fans. But the Knicks have had some of the highest payrolls. The Knicks fans are worse than the Bulls fanbase, for sure. Let's use history to see where toxicity and impatience leads a fanbase. And they're going to drive Thibs out of that city too, the last coach that actually did shit here, is doing it in New York. makes you wonder if anyone else could(that actually wanted to, we're not talking about video game forced trades here). Hmmm... do we learn, do we learn? I mean, if the fans can't learn, why the fuck would the rest of the team?
A fanbase MAKES a team. Names I saw tossed out. Utah and Indana fanbases are hyper supportive, toxic to other fans maybe, but not toxic fanbases to their own. They do not canibalize the way Knick and Bulls fans canibalize on their own. I think Indiana and Utah have done more with lesser caps than the Bulls. Those teams can't afford to have toxic fanbases.
Bulls fans as a whole need to rationalize better before thrashing the team that *they choose to support*.
How long on average, does it take for a new GM to win a title?
How long on average does it take for a new GM to get past the first round of the playoffs?
How long on average does it take for a new lottery pick to make it to an accolade status(All-NBA/All-Star/All-D)?
It's almost like we know how long it takes for these things to happen, yet let's reset every few seasons, great idea. Go against the grain a bit.
So how many teams that have done a rapid reset system, have won a title, and how long did that take? Not examples of it happening, how often when teams choose to rapid-reset does it wind up in an odds besting success rate? It's like playing poker and throwing back 5 cards on every deal and bitching about the kitty.
And when good Free Agents sign here(their choice), especially when they have favorable contracts, stop turning them into your blow-up-the-team leverage trade chips. It sends out a bad message. Very unsportsmanlike, Knick-fan-ish.
