I didnt know that... must've been distracted by making the playoffs. I can understand that a Warriors fan wouldn't know much about being distracted by the playoffs. Oh, do you remember that time you upset the Mavs in the playoffs... And then the Jazz spanked your asses! Hahahha no wonder your team is afraid of the playoffs.

WAAAAARRRRRRRIOOOOOORRRRRSSSS!!!! Come to to Tay-E-aink!!!!

Mormons are way too dumb to realize that, good catch though! :lol: From recent history, I would think that you guys aren't too pleased with your management, yet you are defending their "forethought" of knowing they would need to tank this year just to get their draft pick. They must be a smart bunch.

FWIW, our management isn't been dumb enough to trade a possible lottery pick, unless they are getting a higher one.

I can't believe this whole thing's going to come down to a coin flip. As frustrating as it would be to lose the pick, can you imagine how much worse it would be for GS to lose it? There would be no way to justify this embarrassment of a season for them. The difference between a smart, calculated tank job and utter continuing failure rides on the flip of a coin.

At least if we lose the flip, we go out of this season with dignity.

And I'll raise you a hilarious that you are surprised by Jazz fans having a problem with your team orchestrating the biggest tank in history.

So sad that intelligent fans in Seattle got screwed out of a quality team like the Sonics, and then you have teams like Golden State eeking through their franchise existence.

Why aren't you guys bitching this hard about other teams tanking? You guys don't give a damn about that dignity bs if it don't effect you guys. This was the only season in decades where GS to tank on purpose. Warriors franchise might suck in the past but with the new ownership we got a new start. One meaningless win isn't gonna make the future better for us.

personally, the tank doesn't bother me in the least. As I have said, I'd do the exact same thing if I was running the Warriors.
"Thibs called back and wanted more picks," said Jorge Sedano. "And Pat Riley, literally, I was told, called him a mother-bleeper and hung up the phone."

I agree, it is very disappointing and frustrating to see, but it is understandable I guess. However the NBA needs to put a stop to the tanking by fixing the system in place. The final week of this season was absolutely pathetic as a whole with teams tanking, resting, etc.

Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black. You realize GSW fans come here to post about how the Warriors absolutely are NOT tanking. Talk about ignorant. The tank job doesn't bother me half as much as the ignorant denial of some GSW fans.

Quick question. Who do the dubs think will be available at 7 that will make the tank worth it?

Locking. Will deal with later when not on a phone. Theres no need for a coin flip thread. Just post in the draft thread about scenarios in the draft. The GSW talk is over.
