yeah, i didn't mean winning nba championships, i meant hope for the playoffs. i would add the hawks and wiz to the list, but not the magic, cuz they have mcgrady. see, in hoops, even teams that you know won't win it all at least have one dazzling player who you need to tune in and see, a franchise player any other team in the league would want. pretty much only the wiz, knicks and hawks fit the category of not offering that to their fans.

whereas in baseball, there are certain teams where i just don't understand how people can continue to watch and root for when their rosters don't have any franchise players and you KNOW they can't/won't make a move to compete.

in baskets, any team, any team, can make that move. the nugs were bad, unwatchale, boom they get carmelo, boom they clear salary cap space to sign free agents. free agents sign with almost every team in the NBA except the jazz. whereas in baseball, you know half the teams in the league enter the winter with absolutely no hope of getting a franchise player, or above-average players.
