It's still a crapshoot. If we did end up with the worst record, though, we'd much rather have the greater odds of keeping that pick. That would put us in an unbelievable position of flexibility.
Well we are only two games behind the Sixers believe it or not. They've been playing a lot better since they acquired Ish Smith. Hopefully they don't trade him since he's hurting their tank.
Well, I kind of mentioned that at the end. Getting that other FA to come with him like LBJ and Bosh did in Miami would be key. Cousins + Derozen along with Russell and Simmons would look really tempting when combined with the lights and legacy of LA. Wait a minute. Byron may still be our coach. F--- it. We are going to pay Brandon Jennings and Mozgov the max.
yeah, with the sixers uptick and the separation between the lakers and the next crappiest teams widening, i'm starting to let myself entertain the possibility of a pick. this could end badly.
Don't do it. I'm still convinced we are losing the pick. I'm like 100% certain. Besides. Philly is behind us and they own our pick. Even Colangelo who is anti tank would likely tell the coach to pull everyone the last game or two if they were in danger of leaping us. Ethics wise you could just say, "We were't tanking to make our pick better, we were tanking to make someone else's pick worse."
We aren't tanking we're just somehow losing at a rate comparable to a team that's been openly tanking for years. F*** you Front Office and Byron. F*** you for putting us here.
The one positive note I'll hold on to if we continue to lose or tank (whichever you think it is): less ping pong balls for Boston via Brooklyn's pick
Damn, if we get that #1 though, Simmons is looking realllll good. He might be better than Randle at this point. His jumper looks way smoother than Randle's too. If we draft Simmons, is Randle gone? I hope so.
Fu** it, I'll do it, and I'll go down with the ship if we lose our pick. Tank rankings will be updated. FYI, Philly is up by double digits last I checked.
For a shot at Ben Simmons and to a lesser extent Ingram, I just...maybe...you know...jump aboard the tank! Who's the third best prospect out there? And seriously how many Plumlees are there?!
