He’s right to an extent. All teams who aren’t looking like contenders want to tank now. Atlanta, New York have real reasons to shamelessly tank.

The ‘can’t miss talent’ in this draft is RJ Barrett, Zion, Reddish, Langford, Sekou, Nassir Little. It’s a Top heavy draft. That’s it and the 2020 draft is massively weak. Tons of predictions are that these two drafts classes can produce maybe five household names combined.

Everyone else is considered a hit or miss prospect aka G-League bound eventually. I think it’s disingenuous to advocate for the worst record in the league (Who’s out tanking Cleveland & Atlanta?) after begging for internal growth because Zion or Barrett look good in one game. All while compromising LeVert’s MIP breakout season and any other key development that could happen...it’s only 12 games. The tanking stuff 12 games into the season is just knee jerking. I get we own our picks and all but I’m more concerned with building a proper team than finding some generational talent that rarely falls to you even with a #1 pick or #2 pick (How’s Fultz doing?).

Yes, I’ve even talked about the Zion/Allen lob city idea but it seems like LeVert and Allen are significantly developing at a pace where we will naturally win games and lose close ones. Shameless tanking would kill their competitive spirit.

I still am not sold that Zion could be as good as LeBron. All hype and jokes aside. I’d like to see him against NBA athletes. I’d like to see him against bigs with massive wingspan.

Draft Landscape could change if Silver pushes through with ending 1 and done

Looking at those highlights are depressing as we sit here at 6-7.

Nets gotta tank this year. Winning a few games is good, but 1 of those 3 Duke guys would look great on the Nets.

I find it funny that most of ya'll are on the tank train now lol

What guarantee is there that these guys are franchise changers

If they are in the position to draft one great if not you move on and draft the best player available

There is a chance we could naturally tank if we don’t land any quality FAs next season and opt to pass on paying DLo or Dinwiddie.

Zion is real special but it would be something to land the next NY born phenom...Cole Anthony, Johnathon Wiseman headline the 2020 class.

I think we can be among the 5 worst teams in the league after the dust now has settled...

It was looking like we were going to push for a playoffs seed but due to CL's injury the season has derailed completely.

There are no doubts who our cornerstones pieces are anymore.

So the question is, who in the top 10 would be a perfect fit next to LeVert and Allen in the starting lineup?

Easily Cam Reddish at the 3.

Dude is a goddamn monster. We just need to finish in the bottom 3, and I think that's entirely possible without LeVert. That brutal March/April schedule will do us a lot of favors as well. Just keep on giving Crabbe minutes! :lol:
