    Sadly that is true. The defense is too porous.

    Wilt and Rodman would probably do the job.

    I get it Kh, you're disappointed in our season. But smoke or drink somen bro-bro... it's all good, part of the process. One foot In one foot out perhaps should be the approach haha.

    I'm close to going in full tank mode. For this to happen we'd have to trade Deng/Moz .

    F*** tanking. We have enough prospects anyway. Time for everyone to develop and step their games up under a good coaching staff.

    You can do that and still tank! I'd be a semi low key tank lol.

    I wanna take that pick and package it for an all star cause that's what we need.

    I want to see how this exact team fares for one more season, before we do anything drastic.

    I'm a fan of Dlo but just noting per36 is making him look like he's better than he is RIGHT now. At this point what we're seeing, I dont believe he'll avg those #'s if he did play 36 mins, eventually he might. I dont know where to stand with tanking, #1 I dont think we can get that lucky again and 2ndly who in their right mind would take on Deng or Moz deal right now? Deng is probably only value to contenders who dont have much to offer and Moz, well you tell me what dumb team would take him on willingly with that contract besides us at this point?

    Tanking would definitely ruin our reputation with FAs. We need to double our wins this year and get close to the playoffs the next just to have PG look our way.

    Yeah no more tanking. We need to pretty much nosedive at this point to have a shot at the top 3 to be able to keep the pick. No you cannot tank and develop the kids at the same time. At some point they'll develop well enough to be able to win games. Luke is a promising rookie coach, he did not come here to tank. He's trying to build a culture and a system for the team, you can't do that when you are purposely losing.

    If you wanted to tank, you'd keep BS and pick up bottom of the barrel talent via free agency. You don't go out and get Deng/Mozgov for that amount of money.
