playoffs are doubtful this year, just dug themselves too big of a hole. i mean really, how do you go 4-19? so looks like we will have next years pick. doubtful this team will be bottom 3, maybe bottom 5-7 once again. basically, they can't tank properly so we'll have to get extremely lucky.
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

2.5 games back from 8th is a pretty decent place to be. I'm sorry if your dream of drafting a guy who hasn't played a single game outside of high school is on the rocks, but maybe you might enjoy watching the team that plays in Toronto now. I hear they won last night.

Who said I wasn't enjoying it? I just don't think they'll make the playoffs. Don't be so offended.

I would love either of those guys but BC has learned from the Bargs fiasco and we have one of the deepest teams in the east we are going to make the playoffs and all our young players will continue to get better and we will be drafting Kabongo so I don't see how we will get worse next year unless we trade Bargs , Calderon and Lowry and get nothing in return and even BC ain't that stupid .

Not sure when people will realize that our pick is usually in the 7-12 range so dreaming of drafting Wiggins is quite pointless.

Yeah, because we should all enjoy cheering for a treadmill team, right?

No one is denying that.

The point is we're delusional if we think our team is realistically going to be in position to draft Wiggins.

^^Yup. This team isn't bad enough to be a bottom 5 team next year. Heck, might even make the playoffs in 2014. Only way we get Wiggins if we can acquire Washington, Cleveland, Sacramento, Charlotte, Phoenix, Orlando or maybe even Dallas's pick in 2014.
