Are we not currently in a rebuild?


No. We’re currently in a treadmill state.

God knows what we would be if we didn’t tank in Tampa.

Absolute miserable state of a franchise lol.

I really don’t agree we’re a treadmill team. It’s more like living at an airport without a plane ticket right now.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

One post you’re ranting about how we need to blow it up because players are fighting and unhappy. The next you finish the importance of culture and winning.

Fairytale land? Learn how to talk!

News flash kid, winning begets a positive culture, losing destroys it.

The development of Scottie, Trent, precious etc is important to our future. We aren’t out tanking 6 - 8 terrible teams.

Keeping Fred, pascal etc happy and motivated is important.

Hoping to get lucky and move up from 9 - 15 In the draft to 5 - 8 isn’t a huge success it’s an epic failure and would be incredibly stupid to consider that a success.

You probably think Sam hinkie was a successful gm.


As usual you don't have the slightest of clues of what you're even talking about lol you by FAR have one of THE lowest comprehension levels on this board & by a lot...

I have NEVER said "blow it up" (go find that quote, I'll wait). What I've said is to trade Fred & Gary to allow the team to tank in the standings & secure a top 6-7 pick and claiming I've said anything about the "importance of winning culture etc" is just flat out dumb lies/trollin lol

What's funnier is you go on to say to "move up", oh no little boy we don't need to "move up" we ARE in SEVENTH and have been in that position (or lower) for several weeks now. If we trade away our best shooters from an already horrible shooting team that AGAIN is ALREADY 7th " in the draft going into it's toughest stretch of the season, it's VERY easy & attainable to remain within that top 6-7 nevermind likely move up. Hold yet another L...

News flash --- the Warriors tanked & then won another championship *crickets*, they could tank again this season & still be able to contend again next year. So no losing for a season or too doesn't just evaporate this supposed "winning attitude" so moving on from yet another failed "point" you THOUGHT (and failed) to make. I could understand being concerned about Pascal but IT 2.0, Fred?! lol keep that homerism to yourself.

Being 5-8 in a draft is an epic failure?! So if you ended up with Steph Curry, Dame Lillard, Darius Garland, Ben Mathurin, Franz Wagner, Trae Young, Lauri Markannen, Jamal Murray etc. We won't even mention the guys that they could've picked in that range that you miss out on by making a meaningless Playoff run ie/ Giannis, Kawhi, PG, Booker, SGA but those would be "epic failures" right?! Oh no actually the only epic failure(s) is your posting.

Throwing out Hinkie only shows what a casual you are when he hadn't had a chance to even follow up & make the draft selections but rather Colangelo fumbled a treasure trove. PHI due to his work could've had Tatum, Ingram, Bridges, Embiid all on the same team nvm all the assets to still be able to trade for guys like Butler and Harden which it wouldn't have mattered even in the slightest that they had lost for years prior but please embarrass yourself with more failed "logic". I told you I genuinely get a good chuckle from your incoherent posting...


Holy verbal diarrhea. Toxic too.

We’re not out tanking the worst 6 - 8 teams in the league. Basic math skills would tell you that.

Gutting the team “to get lucky” and draft 5 - 7th is stupid.


It's a good thing you didn't push those last remaining brain cells too hard to actually "justify" those embarrassing flops for takes you had lol

You know what's even funnier?!

You questioning anyone's math skills (and/or grip on reality) when you say "we're not out tanking 6-8 teams" *NEWSFLASH* Earth to genius...we ARE SEVENTH, we don't "have to", WE ARE ALREADY a bottom 7 team. If you're ironically bad "math skills" have failed you that means we ARE (as in presently, not something we need to do in the future) 7th which means MATHEMATICALLY we are smack dab in the middle of 6-8 :lol:. You figure we trade a couple of starters but can not only not catch a group you're already a part of, but can't move further down the standings, just impossible lol Dead lol. Like I said it's knee slapping funny how bad your comprehension is.

Really have someone help you out if need be because you just make yourself look incredibly stupid when you repeat "gutting the team" despite me blatantly calling you out to not only quote where I said it but then further went on to provide you an explanation that directly contradicts it. I'm leaving this because really dealing with you is when people advise you not to argue with fools (that's you, just in case that goes over your head again) because then people can't tell the difference & really there are kids in JK that it would probably make more sense talking with than some genius who can't form a coherent response other than a mindless cut & paste of a bball clip his YMCA mentor gave him or mindlessly repeat "gut the team" derp "winning culture" where he can't even begin to justify his weak af takes lol.

Now that I mutombo'd that trash, time to hit the Ignore Button lol :wave:

If you can somehow get Simons/filler/picks for OG, you pull the trigger.

I think I’m here too. Especially because I think his comments about wanting a larger role are part of what started this entire mess.

OG had zero role in starting any mess with this team. Those comments were fabricated by Jake Fischer, this is well established

It’s not a mess per-say but he’s absolutely wanted a bigger role, Nurse said it himself.

It’s not a mess per-say but he’s absolutely wanted a bigger role, Nurse said it himself.

He also came to camp and, asked about the summer, said he knew nothing about rumors and is happy here. The most straightforward straight shooter there is, I believe him.

The thing Nick mentioned was no indication of discontent, just a player asking about his role. And we know our whole system has fuzzy role definitions

I agree but it’s basically been the theme of this entire season.

Everyone wants more touches and plays ran for them. Hence the discontent that basically shows on the court.

It’s hard for everyone to play team basketball when there’s so many agendas within the team.

We lack a playmaker PG who knows how to distribute and keep everyone happy. Changing one player could fix the "agendas".
