     If you are the GM of a team what would you rather have a team that wins a title and is terrible for the next 10 years OR a team that’s a perennial title contender every year but never wins the Title? I was listening to a show earlier and heard many varying opinions and figured I’d ask the site and see how y’all react. I personally think I would rather have the perennial title contender route. Seems like I could make more money and be more valuable as a yearly finalist than winning once and sucking the rest of the time. I guess I’d rather have hope than no hope at all.

     I’ve been a sixers fan since I started watching basketball. All I can say about this is that when they got to the finals in 2001 that was the most excited to watch basketball that I’ve ever been. I still rooted for them just as hard after that even though they were never truly contenders, and they never even won the championship.

     that’s a tough one. I can either be a team that got a ring but never able to repeat the sucess or a team that is really good during its run but never won it all? If I’m a GM of course I’d pick being a contender every year. It would save my job and when your in contention to win its makes it easier to draw in FA’s. But then the team would go into that forgotten territory of great teams that don’t get recognized for not winning a title.

     I would take the title every ten years with bad and mediocre years between that.  

    In a ten year span, 5 crappy teams and four 7th seed teams is worth it to get a title.
