Thanks guys, much appreciated! While it does suck To lose the dog you grew up with the massive silver lining is that she doesn't have to suffer anymore.

Imagine if we had Durant... Imagine if we had Drummond, Imagine if we had Faried, Imagine if we had Giannis........ Imagine if we had Jordan..

But seriously, I'm okay with Crabbe and CJ. That's a good draft. The main issue is drafting Lemon instead of moving up a couple to grab Drummond.


That's funny my wifey refers to Meyers as "The N.A.D.." Not Andre Drummond.

I really like my "Lemon" nickname, and I'm sticking to it. :D

We've been saying the same thing. "Imagine if we had cj and Rudy instead of Trey Burke."

I don't think we have to try and tank it is happening no matter with this team. No center No defense. No rebounding, even if somehow we sneak in it will be a sad state of affairs. It is hard to believe we can do much with no inside offensive scoring.

Win and die by the three, If either of our 3pt shooting guards is off forget it.

We're kind of past having the option. We'd be "lucky" to make the lotto at this point, and a mid lotto pick is far out of reach. Tanking at this point as a term is fairly meaningless. Maybe we go from 16 to 15. I think we'll win enough(2-3 games) to secure the 8th seed.

We could easily end up anywhere from 17 to 13.... count me in for aiming for 13.

One positive of the post-Nurkic season, much lower turnover rate. Last night was unbelievably low.

I'd go Giannis and Gobert if we were playing what ifs. Unless we could have found a way to draft all 3, and as long as we are dreaming, let's just do that.
New York said Mitchell wasn't the guy you trade the sink for, then they traded it for Mikal, lol.

Giannis would have been KP's #1 pick if he was still the GM. Imagine Giannis on that 2014
team as a sixth man as a 6-11 Batum
