Suck for luck?

[Blackification]

I'm enjoying this more than last year. Looking forward to a good pick is much better than doing our best to try and make an 8th seed. 7th pick and dropping rapidly.

guaranteed loss next game as well, here comes the tank.

Kerrsed where are the tank pics this season?

[DirtyDez]

One player who is worth tanking in the near future is Andrew Wiggins. That kid is going to be the next superstar, franchise changing talent. Just watch.

Not saying Wiggins doesn't look good now but a lot of HS players dominate HS competition. No one HS player is worth tanking for, except for Lebron.

Wiggins is worth forfeiting all 82.

I think he's going to be on par with Tracy McGrady. Definitely worthwhile as our starting 3

I'm already planning for the 2013 and beyond season... its sad but its what it is...

- Archie Goodwin/Nerlene Noels/Ben Mclemore/Steven Adams in 2013
- Andrew Wiggins/Jabari Parker in 2014


Thats my plan.. hope..

2014-2015 season, playoff contender
2015 and onwards.... playoff team + draft picks + salary space... by 2016 maybe a Thunder-like contender....

We will blow the pick, just watch, I don't trust this franchise to draft properly after the last several failed drafts.

God help us if there are a pair of brothers coming out in this draft.

What part of wes johnson is a **** prospect lol dude is a bust.

if he just gets benched, then yes he's a bust, as there is no way to see how close he can get to his potential.

Sarver is settling for mediocrity as long as he can fill seats. That's where the anti-tanking retool instead of rebuild bull is coming from. Hopefully this fun or refund your money bull doesn't work out and he sells the team. Then we can see some things change.

plenty has changed...the Suns havent missed out on the playoffs in consecutive seasons since the mid 80s.

So what kind of protection is on the Laker's picks? I know that it's only lottery protected for the Cavs, does that mean it's unprotected for us this year? Is the pick in 2015 unprotected?

Since the Magic get the Lakers pick in 2017 no matter what it leads me to believe the picks have no lottery protection on them.

2013 first round draft pick to Phoenix
The L.A. Lakers will send the least favorable of their own 1st round pick (top-14 protected), Cleveland's own 2013 1st round pick, Sacramento's own 1st round pick (top-13 protected) and Miami's 2013 1st round pick to Phoenix. If the L.A. Lakers' 1st round pick is within the top-14 selections, Phoenix will automatically receive the L.A. Lakers' 1st round pick. [L.A. Lakers-Phoenix, 7/11/2012]

I pray Steve doesn't come back this season.

[BurningHeart]

I pray he never comes back. I hope he just withers away like the piece of crap that he is.

Go away, mangly-haired douchebag. Go play in Hollywood like you want to.

At this point, we don't really even have to try to "tank".

This team is doing that despite their best efforts.
