Why does it seem like we are the team wearing the dunce hat every year? Look at all the tankers dropping to the bottom while we trip up the standings. I'm not even sure how we out tank Detroit or Chicago now. So what to do? Fight for the playoffs? Just not care about the draft? Sometimes I just would like our owner to be strong and commit to a complete tank and rebuild. Look at Golden State, they are running out guys who wouldn't even get minutes on our team. It's the same sad song every year man. I can't even have hope if this team finishes 9th or 10th seed again.

I guess I'll just have to pin my hopes on the 2022 double draft.

We've made good picks late in the lottery 3 years straight now. And we've made good picks in the second round 2 years in a row. Kupchak is dangerous all over the board. I think you might be stressing over nothing. JB and the front office have a team strategy not a plan for hinging everything on a central star. Cousins did nothing for the Kings. Towns did nothing for the Wolves. Booker has done nothing for the Suns. The Wiz are terrible even though they have Beal who is a top 5 scorer. There is no shortcut here. We have to build a full team and try to swing a trade that tips the balance as the Raptors did with Kawhi. This will all work out. The plan is a team approach where the players play for each other and share in each other's success. JB has been touting this in interviews. If you listen, you'll have more confidence that there is indeed a plan, just not the one you feel comfortable with.

Graham may end up seeing himself coming off the bench soon

Probably the better Martin twin since he didnt start Monk when Rozier was out.

I agree but I'm not so angry at the lack of tank this year. Reason being is that it's a deep draft.

We should be making a tanking effort tho meaning starting our non starters.

This three-guard lineup is a defensive nightmare.

Monk was backup point guard though.

This team has too much talent to tank.

With the pieces they have, they need a point 2 guard.
A player with SG size that is a good shooter and can make point guard plays.

Complements Rozier, Monk, and Graham.

They are an up and coming playoff team with that player.
Also they'd have a decent draft pick and some cap space.

Thats why I want us to draft either killian hayes or lamelo ball in regards to your PG/SG type of player

I think McDanials has the potential to be as good as Crash was here. Crash was awesome. I think he needs some plays ran for him.

its why I was annoyed we didn't try the free trial of Bender. Milwaukee fans were saying he was starting to get it together and wanted to keep him. He's 22, why didn't we try?

Anyhow, I will stop crying about it. I'm so glad GSW got him :banghead:
