If the Cavs didn't bomb on their drafts so bad, the Warriors super team next exists.
Durant probably never even goes there.
We're looking an entire domino effect. If just drafted Leonard or Klay, and still did everything else bad. We'd be in an entirely different situation right now.
Bombing on draft day over and over, when you have high picks, comes back to haunt you.
Like I said, we only have ourselves to blame for this. Say what you want about the Warriors, and I hate them. But they show you what position you can be in if you do shit right via draft.
We did shit so bad, and it cost us. Everything. LeBron, multiple titles, a dynasty, everything.
Monday morning quarterbacking.
Nobody thought Klay Thompson or Draymond Green or Kawai Leonard or Giannis would be future superstars.
Nobody thought victor oladipo would be a future star. Not even the magic who had him for three years...
But all of those guys were in drafts where the Cavs drafted players over them. A lot of other teams wasted picks drafting guys instead of those guys...
That’s the nba draft. Occasionally there are no brainer superstars like KD or Lebron or kyrie.
And sometimes teams do a great job scouting like the warriors and Celtics with the curry and Tatum picks respectively.
But Monday morning quarterbacking the nba draft is a fools errand.
