You tank the hell out of this season. We have the worst record so we're in driver's seat and we need only be top 2 worst teams and pick stays with us. Also, we could always try and flip that unprotected Clippers pick to get the rest of the pick back.

Is he toast

I think it's going to be a lot of on and off like Kawhi. Imo that's not worth it. Should have seen the writing on the wall, when he took 9 months to recover from a 6 week surgery, and still wasn't good to go. Team should have cut it's losses. Now they should just sit him the rest of the year, try some experimental surgery, and hope it takes. 4 years of Kawhi level obfuscation is going to be the end of me. We've got two all stars in Maxey and McCain. Just end this charade already.

I love Jo, but I think he's fed up, and its starting to come out. His frustrations are harder to hide, and he's becoming the NBA and Philly whipping boy. I partially get his response, but it's just more fuel to the haters, and I feel for him in that sense, but he's not doing himself any favors at all. All seems like a waste of 10 years. Should have kept Jimmy and we would have had atleast 1 chip.

I'd love to see it but it ain't happening. We will get out-tanked.

For Stanford here is how you tank:

PG13 - extended shut down to rehab knee.

Joel - out indefinitely

Maxey and McCain a nightly min restriction (unannounced) of 30 mins - gotta keep em fresh

Bring up Edwards and start giving extended PT to Edwards/Bona/Council. If they somehow play well, bring in Lowry/Gordon/Drummond to finish it off.

If we tank and give the pick to OKC, the franchise is over. They should move the team. The city will never recover.

This team ain't winnin geven with Maxey and McCain, the rest of them suck, as we've seen. They can play all the minutes they want.

Eric Gordon still playing should be enough to fire Nurse.

Mik317 · Post #111 » by **Mik317** » Sat Nov 23, 2024 1:38 am

yo who the **** does Gordon think he is?

he keeps driving to the rim even when wide open

The pick is top six protected meaning in a scenario where we finish bottom two it's impossible to have it lost due to lottery since you can only fall a total of four draft slots.

Although it's going to be tough to out-suck Washington and Utah. We're probably equivalent to Toronto when Barnes plays and will be worse in the long term compared to New Orleans when Zion/Herb/CJ/Dejounte all return

I'd say shut 'er down, in a way that we won't have our pick stripped like Silver almost did to the Mavericks when they realized it a was lost season with a lotto protected first owed out - and were able to draft Dereck Lively and go to the finals.

Don't forget quite a few of the teams that want to tank eventually we already lost to! That means we get tie breakers muahahahaha!

Gordon still getting minutes may be the only thing to convince me we're committed to the tank.

I understand I just don't think we'd finish bottom 2.

I gotta say in all seriousness...Joel sat tonight because Nic Claxton was playing. That dude has bullied and injured Joel numerous times over the years. He's dunked on him countless times and just straight up sonned him when they've gone head to head. Joel ducked him tonight. I know it sounds stupid, but I believe that's why he didn't play.

Black Mage · Post #119 » by **Black Mage** » Sat Nov 23, 2024 1:51 am

Stanford what if Nurse promised to play Lowry AND Gordon together to lead the 2nd unit with Drummond? Think we could out tank most teams?

And he's so embarrassed by it, he's sitting out next game too.
