@"SleepingHero". We just disagree totally that Bron creates the easiest situations for himself to win and that’s why I gave specific examples of his journey. He didn’t go to a 70 win team after they beat his team. He made that Lakers and Cavs team into champions.
As I wrote you can criticize him for pulling strings and then leaving the team later. However that is up to the mgmt also. Riley stood firm. If you ask Cleveland every fan would take that championship even if it meant a decade of mediocrity. However even Cleveland is back to being pretty good again. It is not as if Bron put them in a hole they could not get out of. If you told the Lakers fans that you would get one title out of the Bron years but you would have to lose Kuzma, Ingram, and Lonzo they would have taken it given how that franchise was floundering
There are a lot of poor owners and GMs. Many teams are going through years of ineptitude and there is no easy scapegoat like Bron to point to and say that he caused us to crater. If you ask me as a Mavs fan that Luka can call all the shots and we can win one title but that Luka might leave and the team will suck for years, I will take it. Given our mgmt the last two can happen anyway. So why not at least have a title to show for it?
