    Rest LeBron, kuzma and Hart. Play the G league guys (I would actually keep Caruso for next season over Rondo) and let the tank happen. It's Zion or bust! And by bust let's use that pick to trade for AD and keeping 2 of the 3 young core (Zo, Ingram, kuz). My offer to the pelicans is Ingram, the pick 2-10, Wagner and a cap filler for AD.

    At this point, I think the dream scenario for Klutch is actually us taking Darius Garland at 7 or so, then we sign AD in 2020. If Garland turns out to be as advertised, we would have two Klutch clients leading the NBA's golden franchise for the next 8-10 years, and that's not even counting Lebron. Sprinkle in Ingram, Kuzma and whatever we get for Ball (since he's gone if we draft Garland), we have a potential Klutch dynasty.

    I guess I take that back though, dream scenario is actually us drafting Garland, nobody giving up anything for AD which makes our offer of Kuzma, Ingram, Hart, Ball, and picks the best offer by far. That gives us Lebron, AD, Garland, and Deng's festering corpse for about 74 million...83 million with cap holds. Use the remaining cap space to sign Nerlens Noel and KCP. We then have a Klutch starting five. Marcus Morris and Ben McLemore for our first 2 off the bench (also Klutch clients).

    Besides we already have a 34 year old Zion, we don’t need the 19 year old version.

    I think people are misreading the conclusion of the game yesterday. We purposely gave the ball to LeBron because we know he’s not clutch LOL

    At best I see us going 5-7 which leaves us at 36-46.

    That would basically mean LBJ = +1 win.

    Boy...expert tanking job yesterday having NYK go on a 13-1 run to end the game...and to top it all off, LeBron was actually trying and he still failed and got blocked at the end.

    I honestly want us to lose out...at this point, I want LeBron to also play the rest of these games, continue to try and put up all these gaudy stats, and STILL lose. Then everyone will STFU about how we sucked without LeBron and how LeBron is the whole team. This will at least show that LeBron needs the young core as much as they needed him. In fact, I believe LeBron has a worse record without the young core than the toung care has without him (6-12 without LeBron, I believe Lebron is like 3-10 without lonzo, ingram & kuz?)

    Should be full speed ahead into trying to get the 6-7 spot in the tankathon. We could use the extra boost in draft asset if we get a high pick.
