Comparing Brooklyn to philly is not even remotely close.
Philly has one of the best collections of assets in the entire league. From top to bottom, they have more value than our entire team. It would be exceptionally easy for a competent GM to turn Philly's assets into a decent team.
Brooklyn, on the other hand, has a single all-star talent with a history of injuries, a couple decent young guys, cap space and an intriguing location. I still think they can take on bad contracts and add some vets and be mildly competitive enough to spoil our pick... I still think they could throw max money at players to join Lopez, but their path to relevance seems much steeper than Philly.
