NY and Philly are in the same boat when it comes to brazenly tanking. Philly has been at it for 2 plus years na. Pareho sila nakakahiya in my book.
Yeah hopefully Philly stops tanking already. Nakakabadtrip makita na may team na ganun na sobrang basura. Biruin mo top talents nila last year mga rejects like Ish Smith, Canaan,Covington. Lol
They gave up MCW and McDaniels who were decent players, IMO. They still have Nerlens, Embiid and (in the future) Dario Saric but it looks like they wont be getting out of the lottery any time soon.
As for New York...well, they are a hot mess! It is Melo + trash/scrubs. Let's see what Pjax can do to turn this around. Lamarcus+Rondo perhaps? But they really need to have a solid plan to entice free agents. As seen last year, being a big market team is meaningless unless you have a decent team already. In the case of the Knicks, Melo lang meron sila and one pick which they are rumored to be dangling in a trade.
