Sometimes, no matter how hard you work, you don’t get the payoff. NBA teams know this too well.
There will always be circumstances that are out of your control. Life is unfair. In that situation, all you can do is pick up the pieces and move on.
Throughout history, we’ve seen teams work hard to build a contender – only to not contend. Whatever vision they had, it didn’t work out.
For example, take the Chicago Bulls. This team sunk a lot of assets into their current core. Meanwhile, they’re far from title contention.
As a result, some would have them blow up their roster and start over this season.
Could they acquire Karl-Anthony Towns of the Minnesota Timberwolves instead?
