At this point, I've lost faith in this coach/roster (minus a few players). We are only a few games back of the 6th spot which means a 21% chance at top 3 pick and a 6% chance at the #1 spot.

I'm not going to lie, part of me wants to complete the tank to get rid of Skiles. If you want to hate me for it, go ahead. IDC.

One more young player we need to scrape minutes for him to develop is the last thing we need. Another "losing is ok" season is the last thing our players need.

You act as if we have all the talent we need...

I'm down with losing, but not in the way we're losing right now. I think we'll see some moves before the deadline, but not "win now" moves.

Yeah, I don't care how/why we lose. I just want a shot at a top-flight talent.

Not so high on our talent like the large part of magic fans,but just read the word"tanking"makes me sick

We have a roster at this point,we surely a have to fix it someway,but losing again is not the answer imo(even cause we are not gonna have a real chance to a potential franchise player)

Tank? Not sure we can get any worse...

Sad to say it, but it's probably necessary.

i'm embracing our top 6 pick yes

I guess I could have said "continue to tank"

Tank or no tank, we are going to finish somewhere between 6 & 12 in the lotto order. I definitely think that Tobias will be sent packing. His regression and salary should make him the most likely candidate to be traded. The question will be what kind of trade do we make? Do we try and make a splash by trading a couple pieces to improve now or do we clear cap to try and make a bigger play in FA?

Too much youth is why we're in this position to begin with.

I'm all for trading this year's pick if it can help get us a go-to option.

It very well may be most of the problem but a BIG problem is that we don't have a clear cut star. I'm only for tanking because we're already pretty close to the bottom unfortunately.

I wouldn't mind trading the pick but I just don't see who we could snag that would be worth the pick.

Eckhart Tolle says suffering comes from being against this moment. We suck bad. I am no longer against this moment. Blow it up/tank. Just change this team!

We don't have any immediate gratification stars like Towns or Porzingis but we have yet to scratch the surface on what the potential of Hezonja/Gordon could be, even with minutes they're still 4th/5th options in a lot of lineups.. all we know is how much Shabazz can shoot in 10 minutes.

I don't think we need to tank, we're losing anyway!

Semantics every time I use the word tank

at what point do we start making moves to win? we can already see what 3 years of tanking has done to the mind set of the team

ok but we were saying the same things about oladipo,harris and vuc.

basically about any young player we have/had
