Anyone worried LaVine coming back may ruin our tanking momentum even a little? More than having the best odds at no. 1 overall, having the worst record guarantees no worse than the 4th pick. We gotta do everything we can to stay where we are right now!

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Noo.

I’d be happy with 3. We cannot control the draw. We can ensure top 4.

Third pick would be good, there is maany good fits for us. Plus side with third pick would be that less complaining from fans when there is less to say. If we get 1st pick, no matter who we take there is at least three other candidates we passed and it makes more frustrating to read threads. But ofc we get the 1st pick. Holiday has done so good work it'd be too sad end up any other way.

They're saying late December/early January for him...we'll be 5-30 by then most likely :lol:

I think we'll definitely get in the top 3 and that'll be ok but I really hope we do get that #1 pick...it would make this rebuild go by way faster.. I think we'd be back in the playoffs in 2 years

Today has been a great day for the tank.

2 ahead in the Win column now for the tank. It’s all part of the “plan”.

Taking the third or fourth best player on a non-playoff team and then moving him to a vastly inferior team, will not make that vastly inferior team into playoff contenting team.

Look. Even if Lavine and Niko come back and put up 20ppg. And Lauri keeps putting up 15ppg, we're still by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar the worst team.

And Zach wasn't exactly helping the Wolves make the playoffs in prior seasons....

We will end up with worst record for sure.

Yeah! I really think ATL and DAL will both win some games this year. SAC is the team that I think has the best chance to challenge us for #1, which is why losing to them the other night was pretty great as far as the tank goes....

I don't think we finish the season as the worst in the league, Atlanta's roster is just truly awful outside of Schroeder, and they don't have many players with upside.

After Lavine and Niko get back I think we start winning 1 out of 4-5 games instead of 1 out of 7 like we are now.

Just having literally anyone eating Zipser/Felicio's minutes is going to be a HUGE net positive.

Nah, the Bulls are trash. ATL has a one up just having a much better coach.

Lavine will be on minute limitation for a while. Rolo & Niko are likely to be traded by the deadline.

Paxson isn't going to jeopardize the tank for a few meaningless wins.

If we got the #1 pick an took Doncic....I might lose my mind. GarPax thinking about business over basketball like usual. Doncic will bring in the international revenue that the others cant. Ill take Doncic 4th but not before Bagley III, Ayton or Porter Jr.

Trying to make picking Dončić into a business decision.

:lol:

Doncic is a business decision only if your business is trying to win an nba championship. He relentlessly attacks. An amazing player that will take this team incredibly far.

We need to have a player from each of these countries:

China
India
USA
Indonesia
Brazil
Pakistan
Nigeria
Bangladesh
Russia
Mexico

The population of those 10 countries is more than 1 billion higher than the rest of the world combined, I'm sure Reinsdorf won't be happy until every kid in Bangladesh owns a Bulls jersey... :lol:
