Maybe he improved but wasn’t he not very good on the Nuggets?

That's the thing that gets me: these savvy orgs gave up on him, traded him away for nothing

Was kind of hard to tell.
Had some injury issues and never got that much of an opportunity because it was a vet-heavy team with championship aspirations.

The Nuggets aren't the Magic. He wasn't good enough to play for a team trying to contend. Different level of focus needed to crack that rotation.
Year 4...he should AT LEAST be ready to crack Orlando's rotation.

If you drafted them or had bird rights, yeah. Problem isnt the spending, though. Its other teams not being able to put a roster together like that.

So the other owners are upset that the W’s draft picks panned out, resigned, and built a team that has been able to sustain success while experiencing down years along the way…….

GSW got Wiggins as a result of them trading D-Angelo Russell.The team is full of draft picks + an “overpaid” player no one wanted
Not our fault your team isn’t light years ahead
The Warriors got Russel because of the sign and trade with the Nets for Durant when he decided to leave. The fact they were able to do a sign and trade helped them a ton.
They only had Durant because one of the best players in the world wanted an easier way to a championship
Wiggins was averaging 22/5/3 in Minny the season he got traded. People wanted him, maybe not for his full salary, but he was far from Russ. The main concern was not his skill, but his commitment and effort to getting better.
Much of GSW success is based on their great drafting and player development, of course. Especially for Chip #1.
But it is also based on an owner that is willing to spend more that the rest of the league, and key free agents that left money on the table to sign with them. Plus the downstream benefits from that. Which is fine.
Be happy for your team, but this got it out the mud steez Warriors fans be peddling are just fairy tales to help them sleep better at night

Feel like LP would make more money if they had a no blackout option.

The only real break they caught through the process is locking in their franchise player at a discount early on due to his injury history. The main component in all of it is drafting. Before the owner can do anything...you have to have the players. I don't understand acknowledging that but trying to throw in some underhand caveat of how much more their owner is willing to spend than every other one (which is false by the way).
Who's on the list of teams that drafted well, had great player development, did allll of the little things....but their owner just simply refused to pay for it all? List stops at OKC by my estimation. I can assure you if the Knicks (or Nets if they had picks) had drafted well enough over a 3 year period to form a championship core, that their owners would have had ZERO problems printing how ever much money it took.
https://www.spotrac.com/nba/tax/ We can track this thing back to 2015. Clearly Joe Lacob isn't the only owner willing to spend money.
