Everyone realizes that we're tanking, though, right?

Byron was giving Kobe his game in MJ's house. It's a long season.

Game practically tied from start, within 4-6 points in the fourth, D Lo and the gang are on the hunt.

Let's put Kobe in to chuck us out of the game. It worked. Fire Scott now.

The scoring dried up long before Kobe entered the game, that was infact the reason Kobe even had to play after having his entire shoulder and knees wrapped up. If you want to criticize Scott for something it must be for a potential Kobe injury. He was shaking his shoulder the entire time he was in the game.

I missed that. Nevertheless, BS should have left Russell in and not allowed Kobe back. He should've given D Russ and JC the go-ahead to take over the game. He keeps doing the opposite of what seems right, kills the momentum whenever we seem to gain some. I'm just very tired of watching this talented roster getting used to losing...

It's beyond me to accept and live with the shame of my team tanking, so I'm still in denial. This Simmons kid is going elsewhere anyway. Bad karma to tank, we won't get him.

Do we really expect the likes of Horford and Durant to want to come here the way we're playing? I'd think, right about now, Durant is probably starting to narrow down his favorite options outside of OKC if there are any. We're not even on his radar, I can guarantee it. He likes to win.

I so dislike the idea of tanking, on so many levels.

Durant's worse odds than the draft lottery.

So you're saying there's a chance......

[Michael Lucky]

Durant is going to be desperate to win a title if he doesn't this year, which means he's jumping immediately to the team that gives him a best chance of winning one next year. That's simply not us. lol

[iamworthy]

I don't see him as being a ring chaser.

[crazyeights]

not ring chasing, just not dumpster diving through a 3 year rebuild.

Lakers could rebuild quick

If a big FA signs (durrant) then lakers could work a trade for another guy...

3 year rebuild!!??? This is nonsense. I read a non-creditable article last night that said we are gonna trade Clarkson, Randle, and Hibbert for boogie. So there you have it

C-boogie
PG- Russ
SF- Durant
PF- Nance
SG- ??????

With mad money to spare. So you take your 3 year rebuild and go fishing

[Michael Lucky]

I want nothing to do with Cousins on this team.
