    Clarkson, Ellington, Young, Davis, Kelly, Black

    Everyone else should be benched, released or traded.

    Hill for the right price, not a dump, he's not a scrub and if Mozgov fetched 2 1st rounders, Hill is worth something of value. If they dump him for peanuts I'll be pissed. I'm perfectly happy keeping him.

    ^^ Pretty much agreed. I like Hill, too, and I don't want him traded for nothing - but if there's a good return I can see us pulling that trigger. Booz is on the bench already. I'd like to see Price go to the bench for sure, and start Lin for a while. More Clarkson minutes, more Kelly minutes, more Ellington and more Black when his ankle is healthy.

    Yep, yep, yep. Things change dramatically now. It's open tank season. If you can get a 1st for Hill, pull the trigger. Rotation should have only about 20 minutes for Boozer and really none for Price. Boozer is a vet and we're trying to build an image of treating our vets well. In that case, we need to give Booz enough time to showcase himself and get himself a nice contract. Just enough time for that though.

    Lin (30)/ Clarkson (18)
    Ellington (24)/ Young (24)
    Johnson (26)/ Young (8)/ Kelly (14)
    Hill (20)/ Boozer (20)/ Kelly (8)
    Davis (24)/ Black (24)

    Let's roll.

    Yeah, it's on right now. And we need to embrace it. Develop the youth full on. We need to lose as many as possible. None of the other teams have as much to lose as us if we fall out of the top 4. We need to keep our pick. Hoping we end up moving up a spot or two. I can see New York winning more than us and even Minny as well. Perhaps not the Sixers. Lose, lose, lose. I don't see the point in winning a single game from here on out.

    Why in the world is Sacre starting over Davis? We are taking tanking really serious I guess.

    I agree. I hate it, but I completely and 100% agree.

    Luckily the Lakers seem to agree too. Starting Clarkson and Kelly is a clear indicator right? We're in full tank mode and no longer trying to pretend otherwise.

    You can't lose that pick. That's the only thing that would make this season a complete and utter failure. Keep the pick, develop the youth at the same time. Nothing else would make any kind of sense. Tank must be on. Any intelligent franchise would do the same.

    We were. New CBA, new rules, and completely new circumstances.

    Trade gets blocked. Dr. Buss passes. Nash breaks everything. Howard leaves. Mitch and Jim fumble the Pau situation. Randle gets hurt in his first NBA game. Kobe has three season ending injuries...

    Our string of bad luck here has been extraordinary.

    Jeez... when you put all our bad stuff in one long sentence it looks even worse. But your absolutely right, some of the terrible things that have come our way you just can't even make up even if you wanted to...

    It wasn't. This would have been one long sentence: [​IMG]

    "We were New CBA, new rules, and completely new circumstances Trade gets blocked Dr. Buss passes Nash breaks everything Howard leaves Mitch and Jim fumble the Pau situation Randle gets hurt in his first NBA game Kobe has three season ending injuries Our string of bad luck here has been extraordinary."

    And you're right it all looks terrible. [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
