The Entire NBA Is Betting On One Team to Go Up in Flames The Phoenix Suns have sent away years’ worth of first-round picks to build a championship contender. The only problem is that they’re not winning. In fact, nearly a quarter of the NBA is shorting the Suns. Owner Mat Ishbia, who took over the franchise in 2023, swung a deal for Durant, giving up four first-round picks in the process. It was a calculated wager: If Phoenix were winning, the selections they’d be giving up wouldn’t be all that valuable anyway. In their haste to build a championship contender under owner Mat Ishbia, who took over the franchise in 2023, the Suns have traded away their own draft picks at an unprecedented rate. In the process of assembling a roster that features All-Stars Devin Booker and Bradley Beal alongside future Hall-of-Famer Kevin Durant, Phoenix has parted ways with its top selections in the next seven drafts. Along the way, the Suns have also assembled an aging team that is now struggling just to qualify for the postseason. You don’t need to dive all that deep into NBA history to see how such short-term schemes tend to pan out. Like today’s Suns, the 2013 Brooklyn Nets also wanted to make a splash. They had a new owner in Mikhail Prokhorov, a Russian oligarch who signed off on a trade that shipped away three first-round draft picks—and a swap—for aging stars Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. In short order, the Nets fell apart. As for those picks they sent away? They turned into Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, who last season took the Celtics just where the Nets had dreamed of going: the NBA championship.

It’s Major League Baseball’s Dream World Series—and It Only Cost $650 Million The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers are the most prestigious and popular franchises in the sport. They also hold an enormous financial advantage over their rivals. More money won’t guarantee you win the lottery, but it’ll certainly let you purchase more tickets. The bank accounts of the last two clubs standing have sparked a familiar debate about the economics of baseball, the only American sport without a salary cap. Until now, the Yankees hadn’t won a pennant since 2009 despite spending around $3 billion on players over that span. The Dodgers have precisely one ring since 1988, and that came in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. Meanwhile, the expanded postseason format effectively acts as a randomizer button, to the point where every individual series in October amounts to little more than a coin flip. Since the introduction of the wild card in 1995, this is just the fourth time the two top seeds are playing in the World Series. Since 2011, the earliest available year with data from Spotrac, the winner of the World Series has ranked between seventh and eighth in the majors in payroll on average. Ten of the past 14 champions, including the Yankees or Dodgers this season, will have had payrolls in the top 10. Only one, the 2017 Houston Astros, ranked in the bottom half. So while it’s accurate to say that the Yankees and Dodgers don’t win the World Series every year, a team that bears at least a passing resemblance to them usually does.
