A Tale of Two NBA Rebuilds
The Oklahoma City Thunder are on pace to be a top 4 team in the Western Conference, while the Detroit Pistons are on pace to have the highest odds at the lottery. Both rebuilds started at around the same year. However, one team is thriving, and the other is suffering.
This is a tale of two NBA rebuilds

The only thing good in OKC is SGA, and Holmgren could be potentially be good thing. The rest of the team is a lost case. Coach made them play defence and that is why they are in good position.
The Chauncey trade wasn’t the worst because ultimately the run had already ended by that point.
The Blake trade was the worst because it actively set the franchise back. It was like selling your house to take a vacation. And not even a good vacation. Like renting an over priced loft in Ohio for two months and eating frozen pizza every night.
Man I remember being a kid and watching the Blake Griffin dunk contest on those small as tvs and when everyone was calling Serge Iblocka instead of ibaka and I remember watching the finals that year too. What Season and time
as a Blazers fan this is hard to watch, like everything else
lol what sports betting was around then 😭
These should be textbook examples of how to and how to not rebuild at GM University
You were the chosen one
😭
James harden is from Arizona State you noob 11:01
I’m sorry but how can this be a hour and 30 mins😂 nether team has done shit for it to be the length of a movie
Tbh we gotta appreciate the fact that Sam Presti had two superstars to trade and start their rebuild. This doesn't really happen that often. The way Sam Presti navigated the domino effect from those two trades was truly masterful.
The editing in this video hurts my head also this guy can barely speak he talks like an 8 year old
Funny how i now realize greg poppovich aint shit… man didnt want tony parker and now the man who wanted him is rebuilding another southern franchise.. so really he was the genius it seems…
Gone gone thank you at the beginning🤩🤩🤩
Tell the whole truth The league was trying get rid of A.I you trade a guy from Denver after the first year with Denver winning 50 plus games to Detroit and GM THAT STARTED RODNEY STUCKEY OVER A GUY WHO won ALLSTAR MVP THE YEAR BEFORE ‼️‼️‼️ David Stern and Sean Dumas ruined A. I
I wouldve thought the pistons were gonna win in 2004
as an oklahoman we are grateful for the OKC move. the basketball team helps the city tremendously
I wish cade was in dallas right now
Bro said KD had a good game when he was 5/23
Why is this video so dark? 2 minutes into this video and I'm still squinting to see what's what. This is horrible editing.
Pistons fans, just put all the blame on el Dominicano Kevin Knox 😂
Turn the background music down a bit
What a great vid fam that was a hell of a watch ❤
You already have GRANT SADDIQ and DIALLO to be with CADE but you chose to start from the bottom.
Its criminal what the nba allowed to happen to the sonics, i hope Seattle gets a team soon
Hey bro love the channel, but I would love more substance from you. More numbers, more explanation and maybe just more depth. But overall love the channel and videos!
Really love the video idea but the video and editing itself feels kind of aimless. You kind of switch between both teams without any prefacing and it kind of lets down the core of the video. Maybe splitting it into two parts or discussing different eras of both teams split into distinct and not 'loose' chapters could help? Otherwise you're definitely onto something, I can't wait to see what you do next and videos you make in the future 🙂
The Pistons entire office are entitled pricks my favorite franchise is doomed
51:51 I cant believe this made up narrative I heard that Blake was booed out the arena despite playing hurt 😮😮😮😮😮
Joe Dumars went from considered this Great GM
To…. 😬
Sam presti is a generational gm
0:50 bro used Bleach ost, valid.
SGA gives me KD flashbacks
Why is this nightmare fuel
