100 tanking threads aren't enough for you?

Listened to Chad Ford on the BS report, and im paraphrasing, there are atleast 7 allstars in this draft, with likely more in guys that surprise (mentioned Pido/MacLemore as guys who went lottery but projected late 1sts).

Compared Parker to Melo (I think it was Parker), and mentioned he could go 4 or lower. Interesting nonetheless.

Having said all of that, sounds like no tank, goodnight all.

I'm down. Its either going for 9th or going for last, I'll go for last. Anti-tankers are hoping for the 7-11 range.

Hopefully the tank gets revved up close to the trade deadline. As the roster stands now though....we're going for 9th. It's pretty sad.

If adding Julyan Stone, Steve Novak, and Tyler Hansbrough aren't tank moves, then I'm sort of afraid of Masai's vision of an actual tank. It'd probably involve a bunch of crossbowmen at Demar's wedding.

Whatever happens ill support. If we're trying to make it this year then I'm gonna be going to some games and cheering my heart out. If we go tank(which I support more) I'm also happy.

Enjoy the 12-15th spot and missing playoff by many games every year. I would enjoy more a treadmill 42-40 team than a treadmill 30-52 team.

Enjoy the only interesting time in the season: the lottery (with so great results in the last few years, including 2013 !)

Enjoy having overpaid 'role players' because better players are not interested to play for a team with a reputation of chronic losing.

Anyone who opposes tanking is a stupid, moronic, imbecilic, idiot, dimwit, numbskull, braindead, nincompoop, mental midget.

Well this team sure isn't winning any championships either. Would be lucky to get 8th and swept by Miami.
