    They don't realize that fostering a winning culture among the team now will put them in a better position to succeed in the future than aimedly stockpiling talent from the draft. They need more than just young talent; they'll need to allure ripe free-agent signees to complement them as well, and I'm not sure how many prime-age players would want to invest their best days on a tanking-mode franchise.

    Philly is a POS city.... it's a place people live if they cannot afford NY. The biggest thing to come from there is their food which is actual crap if you have it authentic. They take pride in rocky, as if it was an actual person.

    Weather there sucks as does everything else because no one has a sense of pride because theyre only there because its affordable.

    Lakers have a winning culture and are decent at developing the talent they have. Clarkson is just the latest would-be projection nobody. No comparison, you are bad at this. Quit life my dude.

    You've got to feel bad for any player that goes there, they probably feel like they've been sentenced to NBA purgatory

    Developing players = letting them watch Kobe take 25 dumb shots a game with a coach who is fine with it. Alright.

    It's all good, don't be mad. Just know that past performance is no guarantee of future results. For now, you're stuck with the corpse of Kobe, Byron Scott and Jim Buss. Good luck! Such a great, great foundation for a franchise. The W's are right around the corner, only a matter of time now.

    This organization has a long track record of developing players they keep. But yeah lets use 1 season to make my case sound.

    Losing has a smell, a funk which hangs in the stands, the uniforms, the whole culture eventually becomes infected. True winners don't want to lose or watch losing or be part of losing.

    Losing lowers testosterone: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9811365

    Losing is bad, losing on purpose to win later? I am not convinced.
