Tank World Order (6.0)

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

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.

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

Tank World Order (6.0) 

Post#1 » by 720 » Mon Nov 29, 2021 8:40 pm

With the last thread reaching the 100 page mark, here is the continuation of the TWO thread. This is our 6th thread so far, thus (6.0).

Please keep all discussions about draft prospects and current schedule trends respectful. If you have basic questions about tanking and how it's evil or whatever, please refer to the many past tank threads where I'm sure your questions and opinions have been addressed.

First page real estate.

We have been lambasted over the last two years but we remained vigilant and solid. In the face of adversity we pushed through.

Anyone who denied before and have changed their ways, we are accepting of all and have no contempt to those who want to join us.

Please the tank has a lot of room.

I can feel the trade winds picking up, I hope the Raptors can be active in the coming months and add to the asset base. Here's to TWO 6.0!

Can't wait to pair Scottie with another young star. This team is going to win multiple championships thanks to tanking. Come at me team mediocre.

would the Raptors select a traditional big man like Jalen Duren? he's in their range right now. he brings size and physicality but downside is that he would take longer to develop. he's an avid and live body rebounder and shot blocker.


currently averaging 15-11-1, 1 stl, 5 blocks a game.

I was gonna add Keegan but I didn't want the first post to get too huge, as it's already half the page. lol

too lazy to go back to the old thread but would Jalen Duren be a viable option for our big man situation. was he talked about?

he's 7th on the nbadraft.net

FVV
GTJ
OG
Barnes
Duren

FVV
OG
Barnes
Siakam
Duren

Siakam either traded or GTJ is traded.

Precious as a backup 4 or 5.

I'll continue the tradition of rejecting the categories because they make no sense, hence no vote.

The team will do what it does - try to compete given the roster it has, then start "resting" players strategically around the trade deadline. There is no "win at all costs" or "treadmilling" as its defined.

With that said, I look forward to another discussion about prospects, especially those in the teens or late lotto.

I'm hearing Shaedon Sharpe might go pro next year.

He's the same age as these guys. He's a year older than Emnoi Bates who can't enter this draft

Return to Toronto Raptors
