I asked you guys on a community post to let us know what you think are the biggest failures in the NBA during the 2020s. We are going to react to their picks for the biggest failures and rate it 1 through 10 based on how big of a failure we think it is all things considered. Okay, let's do it. First off, what we got? First one. Let's go read your souls. All right. The Sun's trading for Bradley Beal to make a big three.

0:23.4

Oh, that's a big failure.

0:24.7

Yeah, it's honestly, I think it might be a 10 out of 10 because you got like, you got no

0:30.1

playoff series wins.

0:31.6

Swept.

0:32.3

Once you trade for Kevin Durant, you tell the world, we are ready to win a championship.

0:37.4

You were absolutely not in a position to win a championship.

0:41.1

And everybody just kept saying, like, even me, I understand.

0:44.5

Games about a bucket.

0:46.1

Too many buckets?

0:47.1

Nine of passing.

0:48.6

You got to set yourself up for failure.

0:50.5

I'm going to go 10.

0:51.2

It makes it even feel worse than like than the 10 it feels like a 13

0:55.1

because how guys talked about this roster meaning like devon berk who i remember in like a preseason

1:00.3

interview who was like yeah there's three of us how you go to guard is matt espia after the

1:03.6

got first rounded by the by the minnesota timbrewool's crazy work he was like oh yeah if i ask

1:09.7

all 29 other jams which russia would they rather have? Mine or theirs? They would say ours with no fucking flexibility with a no trade clause on your team. You're crazy. His body was made of bullshit and he was like, I'm the sexiest. Yeah, but he's ridiculous. They died hard on this hill that it was going to work. I know what sucks? Kevin Durant was coming off of a stretch of Nets basketball that was so fucking amazing that we had to get better for the doubt that you add him to what they got with Devin Booker. Surely they'd be contenders. One move was able to nullify all of that. This is a 12 out of 10. That team made the finals two years prior. And then added Kevin Durant. And stripped it all down.

1:44.5

Yeah.

1:44.9

Yeah.

1:45.2

This is one of the biggest failures of 2020s for sure. Super tough. Next. The anti-flopping rule. The rest were calling it for like three games of the season and then never did it again. Yeah. I'm going to say it's a big failure because I'm fucking sick and tired of hearing about flopping discourse. while it doesn't bother me, I recognize it bothers other people. And I would love to stop hearing their tears about it. So yes, I do wish they think they institute this rules more. I think they need to start finding players when it comes to what they tried to do. Yeah. And then they never did. Yeah, man. I get it. So the biggest loser is Adam Silver not having a backbone. I do think it's crazy. It always comes down to Adam Silver and not having a backbone. I do think it's crazy that the NBA just like implements rules and just stops enforcing them go out. Like that's insane. Make a choice. Another one that I haven't seen in a minute, a take foul. Well, people stop doing it because of the penalty.

2:35.2

So that's a good rule.
