Every game that can affect our tanking "success" this year should be discussed here.

For example: the Sixers are playing Washington at home. They have a small lead in the 1st quarter, but I'm pretty sure I know how this is going to end.
Still, it might be interesting.

Our main "opponent" is obviously Minnesota. They have a horrific schedule, but they are probably slightly better then us. They have 13 wins, we have 15. They are also playing tonight, against Chicago.

Against the Jazz, Jordan exploded for 22 points on 10/16 from the field to go along with 4 rebounds and 3 assists. He also had a tremendous steal, dunk, and-one over fellow rookie Dante Exum who was taken by the...

Per Howard Beck of Bleacher Report

'Sources say Karl would love to acquire Ty Lawson—if the rebuilding Nuggets were to make him available—or any other members of his last Nuggets team, which won 57 games in 2012-13. Karl wants players who move the ball and push the tempo, and that could mean wild upheaval on the Kings roster. Even DeMarcus Cousins, their franchise center, is not untouchable, according to a source with insight into Karl’s thinking. “At the trade deadline, everyone was available,” the person said. Including Cousins? “Every single person (on the Kings roster) was available.” Although Karl does not hold a front office title, “he definitely has control” of future personnel decisions, the source said.'

He's a a head case. I know this very well; all of us do. Just throwing it out there. We get a pick outside of the top 3; we have Hill an Lin's bird rights, Karl wants to play a fast-paced open style that Lin would thrive in, they'll need another big and Hill could fit...
