How should the team move forward this season?

Go for ping pong balls to draft a star potential prospect adding to our core.

Core is good already, make a push for the playoffs even if it’s the play-in.

Bruh, just went on Tankathon after a couple weeks to see our current odds and all I can think about is that godfather meme/scene where he goes “look what they did to my boy!”. :lol:

Can’t believe Masai double downed on this trash ass roster

This team is could easily end up in the worst spot. No playoffs and the 14th pick.

@will remember I sarcastically said "TWO on life support" at Nurse pumping his fist after meeting with Masai at practice beginning of that road trip? Masai really told Nurse we getting him a real center (Poeltl) and going for play-in. FML

If we lose again on Saturday, I'm back on. A couple of tough road games against DEN and LAC next week.

OKC/Minny stretch might end up being crucial.

If they go 2-5 or 1-6 this stretch then even Masai and Nurse would have to start considering a mini tank right? Start resting guys for the last 10 games or so? Might be asking for too much there.

I think you could make the argument that barely squeaking into the playoffs via play-in is actually worse. We get swept anyways, and might barely miss out on a decent prospect at the tail end of the lottery. Without our pick next year, unless there are some major trades lined up for this summer, Masai will be incentivized to double down even more on trying to make this core work. If any of FVV/GTJ/Yak want out, we'll be left hoping for a sign and trade that might work out for us.

Too late to tank. We went 8-2 before the Washington game. Stupid Masai and his MLSE bosses. Caring about this year's bottom line only with this garbage core that may not stick together. They should have thought about the possibilities next season with FVV and GTj traded before the deadline and our pick being a top 3 this draft. Next season could have been a generational change for the next several seasons.

This, my friends, is why leaders (business, political, whatever) need foresight. Instead of treating the cancer, they treat chipped toe nail.

Raptors really pissed away the opportunity for a big-time prospect to be mediocre.

What a goddamn time.

We are the Amerigo Bonasera of this. Funeral directors looking on helplessly.

Edit: Actually, we would be the Tom Hagens of this.
