If the 90's era of the NBA was watered down, then the current NBA is downright awful. 

75% of the teams right now are practically hot garbage at best.

Agreed, you can have a terrible team with zero superstars make the Playoffs.  NBA is just odd right now.

Haha I knew some people would talk about how great the 90s were. Keep on believing that if you want, I said "the average NBA player is leagues better than they were in the 90s" and that's very true. 

Let's look at the 95-96 season (Bulls went 72-10) for instance:

  • There were 2 expansion teams: Toronto and Vancouver
  • The 8 seed's were barely over .500 and under .500 (respectively)
  • 7 teams won under 30 games (pretty much 25% of the league)
  • The Sacramento Kings made the playoffs with this roster (but you had to have a superstar apparently)

The 90s had some good players in it and the game was a lot different, but for some reason people that aren't even fans of basketball claim it to have the best players ever. Which is fine, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But the talent pool of the NBA is much deeper than it was in the 90s, and to even debate that is really hilarious. Just statistically there are a lot more people than 20 years ago, and training regiments now compared to then are night and day.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there has always been awful teams make the playoffs in the NBA. I checked 3 seasons and there are some truly bad teams here (especially that Boston team).

The 7th seed when the Bulls won 72 games had Alonzo Mourning and Tim Hardaway on the Heat.  Just stop with your poo dude.  Only young dumb people believe that the NBA was watered down then.

Take the 12 best NBA players, all of them right now and pit them against the 12 best from 1996 and the 1996 team would win literally every game. Let LeBron get his points and laugh to a 20-point blowout

12 best from 96

Stockton-PG

MJ-SG

Pippen-SF

Malone-PF

Hakeem-C

Payton-PG

Reggie Miller-SG

Rodman-SF/PF

Hill-SG/SF

Robinson-PF/C

Mourning-PF/C

Shaq-C

Shaq is last on my list but not least.  Whenever I wanted this team to butt fug the new era team he would go in.

I also put in Rodman because these new era cats would get so ate up at him they wouldn't play their games right.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
