Let’s be honest here, the NBA sucks. Teams win championships in the NBA with dynasties and super teams. The Bulls, Pistons, and Rockets dominated the 90’s. The Lakers and Celtics dominated the 50’s-80’s. The Spurs and Lakers dominated the 00’s and so on and so forth. There have been lucky teams like the Washington Bullets (Wizards), Portland Trail Blazers, Milwaukee Bucks, New York Knicks, and Dallas Mavericks, but most decades in the NBA are dominated by one or two teams and that is not very exciting. Teams like the Nets, Hornets, Nuggets, Pacers, Timberwolves, Clippers, Pelicans, Grizzlies, Magic, Suns, and Raptors have never won the NBA Championship. I will go on record as saying the Washington Wizards and Oklahoma City Thunder haven’t either (the Washington Bullets have, but the Wizards have been a dismal franchise since the name change and fuck the Oklahoma City Thunder for taking credit for a Seattle SuperSonics Championship; it’s not enough you take my favorite team away but you have to take credit for the championship? Fuck the Thunder.). So how do you make the NBA more competitive? The salary cap clearly isn’t the answer like they thought it would be, so how do you make a change?
Well, I would start out with the Washington Wizards who haven’t been good since they changed their name from the Bullets. The simple solution is change it back to the Bullets, boom. I think changing the name back to the Bullets will erase the stink of the weird Michael Jordan stint and the fact that they haven’t had the success they should of had by now with John Wall. I’m telling you,it is the name that is killing them.
Next, move the Nets back to Trenton, New Jersey and the Memphis Grizzlies back to Vancouver, British Columbia. I don’t know if karma is real, but I do think that the Nets and Grizzlies are bad and can’t win Championships because they abandoned their cities that would have supported them. I hate when teams leave cities, because it doesn’t help their city at all. I think if the Nets and Grizzlies want to take the next step and be successful again, they need to reclaim being the New Jersey Nets and the Vancouver Grizzlies. Also, Vancouver should go back to their old logo; I can’t take their new one seriously.
I can’t think of how you help the Clippers; they literally, at one point, had Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan all on their starting roster. The only way the Clippers get to the next level is if they find the witch that cursed them because ooooof, they are screwed.
I also don’t know how you fix the Indiana Pacers because who wants to live in the polar vortex Midwest and also have the threat of tornadoes; that wouldn’t be very attractive for free agents, so maybe their only shot is a quick chat with Mother Nature?
Now the Hornets and Pelicans are, to say the least, an interesting case? Because at one time the Pelicans were the Hornets. But the Pelicans were never the Hornets, but the Hornets were the Bobcats. It is a tangled mess and I think you should google both teams history, but how do you fix them both? I mean the Hornets have never been good expect for a tiny stretch in the 90’s. The Hornets actually weren’t ever good in the two cities they had chances to be good in (New Orleans and Charlotte). The Pelicans have never been good except the one time they made the playoffs, so there is a lot to this situation, but I know how you fix it. You discontinue both franchises; they merge and move to Nashville to become the Nashville Bobcats. I know I said earlier that I hate when teams move because it hurts the city, and it does, but if you’re the Pelicans and the Hornets you have to realize that you’ll never win a Championship so you might as well just merge and become the Nashville Bobcats. It would also save the city some humility because year after year they aren’t good. I mean, the Pelicans have a top three player in the NBA with Anthony Davis and the Hornets are owned by arguably the best NBA player of all time in Michael Jordan and have had no success, so clearly they just aren’t meant to be Champions.
This would also put the NBA at an odd 29 teams which then could be fixed by bringing back the Seattle SuperSonics then making the NBA an even 30 once again, See, I figured out a way to bring my favorite team, the Seattle SuperSonics, back!
The Raptors: the short answer is cut all ties with Drake.
For the Nuggets, the short answer is get Michael Porter Jr. 100 percent healthy so he can be the new king of the NBA he was meant to be.
The Timberwolves are tricky because the city of Minneapolis has won Championships with the whole Minneapolis dynasty they built, but then they were moved to Los Angeles and, unfortunately, all their titles were too since their franchise wasn’t suspended. Minneapolis was then granted an expansion team in 1989 and chose the Minnesota Timberwolves as their team name, making them a new franchise with no championships. Recently though, they were on the verge of being good, then they just became the early twenty teen’s Chicago Bulls and fucked everything up for Andrew Wiggins and Karl Anthony Towns, so maybe hiring Fred Hoiberg would be a start in the right direction and then just hoping that they didn’t miss their window? Or they could just do a rebranding and call themselves the Minneapolis Lakerz (with a z) and maybe it would bring back some old luck? I don’t know.
As for Phoenix, just hope that you continue to score single digit quarters and tank miserably and get great lottery picks until Devin Booker’s last season on his new extension and then hopefully get back into the playoffs. This, in turn, would bring Devin Booker back; it is a long shot, but what else can Phoenix do? Try? Give me a break…
The Magic is just a really young team right now, and it wasn’t that long ago that they had actually made a finals with Dwight Howard; with their young core it could really work, especially with Orlando’s New Magic Man Markelle Fultz.

The Oklahoma City Thunder… I mean they couldn’t win one with Westbrook and KD so the Thunder will never win one. Once Westbrook and Paul George are out of there, prepare for the Thunder to look like the Charlotte Bobcats, and I’m not talking about the team that went to the playoffs once, I’m talking the 7-59 Charlotte Bobcats. That is what the Oklahoma City Thunder are destined for on a consistent basis, and rightfully so, for taking my favorite team away. Fuck the Oklahoma City Thunder; no one wants to go to play there by choice. Paul George only resigned because of Russell Westbrook and when Westbrook leaves it will be over. The Oklahoma City Thunder have never won an NBA Championship and they never will. That Championship belongs to the Seattle SuperSonics and the city of Seattle. Mark my words, the Seattle SuperSonics will be back one day. Whether from the almost certain NBA expansion to 32 teams or the idea I purposed, they will be back.
These are my ideas to make the NBA better, because it really can’t get much worse.
