Bingo. Any moves that are made in an effort to improve the team right now are pointless, imo. Trading Dre for a worse player plus a pick is what I’d be after.

The current 8th seed is 5 games under .500 and projected to win 35 games.

Somebody in the east is going to make the playoffs despite being very, very bad. If that ends up being us it might prove to be the final straw for me.

I just noticed that, we got the 7th pick but 2 wins out of the playoffs :lol:. IDK though with our last month or so of brutal opponents and beat up roster we probably wont get in

I hope you're right. I think that would break what little remains of my spirit.

Heck, the fact that our team is dumb enough to even aim for that is enough to break my spirit almost.

Why isn't Sekou in Grand Rapids? Its not like he's getting minutes or anything.

It makes no fn sense.
The kid needs to develop by playing and these buffoons call him up to warm the bench. I get that there's a lot of injuries and they need bodies to fill the roster but why not call up somebody inconsequential like Hall to fill a bench seat or anybody but their most important prospect for that matter.

I truly hope the fact that there’s no buzz about any moves means Gores has accepted that this season is a bust at this point.

This pitiful broken start might keep him from extending Drummond. That would make the season good for me, as long as we end up with picks or youngsters.
