Tank World Order (6.0)

Moderators: DG88, niQ, Duffman100, tsherkin, Reeko, lebron stopper, HiJiNX, Morris_Shatford, 7 Footer

At 9-12 where do you stand?

Tank World Order: Hope the team continues its downward trajectory so that they can add another top lottery pick talent to the core of Barnes and OG?

Team Mediocre: Try and win at all costs this season. Playoff experience is valuable for the young players on our team. Making the playoffs, even if the play-in helps preserve our winning culture.

18%
Team Neutral: Have not decided what direction I want the team to head. Waiting until later in the season to decide.

Unfortunate we aren’t that bad.

They signed one of the best players of all-time. Literally a top 3 player of all-time. That's why they won. :lol:

The Lakers are actually the perfect example of a tank NOT working because they traded like 4 years worth of lottery picks to New Orleans and New Orleans haven't even made the playoffs yet with all those lottery picks.

Try again. The Lakers were in the lotto the year they signed Lebron


What's your point? They were 37-45 and Lebron missed nearly 30 games. All those lottery picks next to Lebron made them a treadmill team. They traded all of those lottery picks AND FRP's for AD.

Ivey, Keegan Murray, Griffin, Mathurin, Kendall Brown, a couple more. Ivey might play his way into the top 6 but for our sake I hope he doesn't.

Guys I re-watched that Celtics game and the team never expected to win. There was no spirit and you can see from their body language that they are about to cave.
The season is officially over and they will tank and Masai does not care about the play-in.

Top 4 pick incoming!

And they don't get AD without those lottery picks. Its about asset building, no lottery picks, no AD, no championship. Might be to complicated for you to follow.

You never know where someone is actually going to get drafted but...

Jaden Ivey
Keegan Murray
Ben Mathurin
Kendall Brown
Caleb Houstan (been a little bit under whelming)

That's not even counting international players like Dieng or Jovic

Then you've got a guy like AJ Griffin who's recovering from his injury still and probably underperforming as a result. Griffin, Watson, Houstan have all been worse than I expected.

You guys need to put in a lot more thought into this. Trading 2 lottery picks in Ingram and Ball along with the 4th overall pick and two more FRP's is not a successful tank. Are you guys being serious? :lol: That's actually a failed tank. Guys, we've been over this a thousand times already.

We also built assets with Pascal, FVV, Norm and OG. All outside the lottery and we WON a championship. What are you even talking about? :lol:

late lottery is fine. Masai is good enough to find us a 2nd stud. Then we trade Siakam for a more balanced roster and we could have something there.
