We finish as the playing under .500 ball but still manage to get the 8th seed and get swept in the first round.

The possibility of missing the play-offs and losing our pick is all too real. We're in trouble folks.

We trade Smith to the Knicks for Bargs and Shumpert.

We trade CV and mitchell to Philly for Thad Young

Cheeks actually allows KCP to play in the second half. And when Monroe is playing well, he puts shooters around him so Moose can work in the paint.

We finish the year with...

Jennings / Bynum / Siva
KCP / Stuckey / Billips
Shumpert / Singler / Gigi
Monroe / Young / Jonas
Drummond / Jorts / Bargs

...and then i could watch a game without hating the team.

Whats next?

We'll look at the tape, work out some kinks and get ready to play a tough Knicks team.

There's always the slim chance we miss the playoffs and move up in the lottery I guess.

Wow, it didn't occur to me that we could actually miss the playoffs despite the East being terrible right now. That's pretty cool I guess.

i don't even.

Sadly this is probably the best option. To not have a draft pick this summer is horrifying...given the state of this team.

Were already 10th worst in the standings with only 4 more wins than the second worst record so who knows. We could get our pick this year. Right now we look like the worst team in the league but I can't see us playing this bad for the rest of the season.

Watch us end up with 8th pick, but a team from behind us wins the lottery bumping us to 9th and thus having to send the pick to Charlotte.

It really doesn't matter what happens next because we have the worst possible coach for this situation. Shuffling players around isn't going to help anything unless you can get Lebron James for CV and Stuckey. Even then, Cheeks would sit James in the 4th so Billups and Bynum can get some minutes ......

What's next? a 3 game road trip, where they'll probably finish 1-3.

A moron of a coach who doesn't have the ability to change anything, and an even bigger buffoon of a GM who supports him from afar.
