That’s why Masai traded for Ingram. Not solely relying on the draft

Now the Luka trade makes sense. Trade Luka to the Lakers for barely anything to try to save Lebron's legacy. Get the #1 pick. Smfh. :roll:

Literally lol. I know tankers are gonna look at Philly moving up and use that as their reason why we should have tanked harder but they are way more examples in this draft alone as to why tanking isn’t the answer lol

We didnt tank, thats the issue. We finished 7th worst.

Love to obsess about tanking all year long only to also believe the draft lottery is rigged. I'm a serious person.

Blatant tanking isn't the way with the flattened draft odds

Time to trade the pick and trigger the treadmill. What’s the point of ever tanking again if this franchise is incapable of ever doing it properly anyway?

Rigged... (just kidding ish)

Tough night.

On the brightside, there over 10 good players so we getting a good one.
Secondly the cap hit it lower on the 9th pick... (I've been saving that bit of positive thing for a dark moment and here we are)

Not sure why Bub Carrington was so happy, he might have just lost his minutes.

Should have won more, is that the regret?
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Let me clear now, the top 3 worst teams, with best odds finished the draft #4, #5, #6... these teams were tripping over themselves to out tank everyone

He realizes it was a complete waste of a season and he didn’t even tank properly.

At least his contract is running out.

Does it matter anymore though the Wizards and Jazz were doing some nasty tanking and a team that won a play-in game got #1. It's all "luck" I guess lol
