How should the team move forward this season?

Go for ping pong balls to draft a star potential prospect adding to our core.

Core is good already, make a push for the playoffs even if it’s the play-in.

Dammit probably gonna be a W lol...at what point do some people actually worry that he can turn out to be a IT 2.0?!

Knicks gonna be on a second night of a back to back as well.


I like your mentality, 720. You've been burned by fake wins in the past and now you've developed a keen eye in determining future fake wins.

Just lose as many games as possible. I don't care if we draft in the 6-10 range. It'll still be a whole lot better than getting bounced in the play-ins or first round.

Plenty of intriguing prospects that can make us better next season.

Good news for the tank. Giannis hasn't played last couple of games, hopefully he can suit up on Tuesday!

Maybe, but our game is a TNT game, the MLK game for them is only local. Even if he plays vs the Pacers he may suit up vs us because the pacers game is at 2:30. A lot more time between games to rest.

I'd rather trade Scottie and just go all in with Pascal and OG, who are every bit as good as Tatum and Jaylen. There's still time to turn around the season like the Celtics did

That's simply not true.

Celtics have better versions of all of our top 3 guys.
Tatum > Siakam
Brown > OG
Smart > FVV

They have a full blown superstar player in the NBA who is at worst a top 3 penetrator in the NBA. From that alone they can build a real championship contender. The foundation is set. SGA has the skillset to be the number 1 option of a title team. Everything else will back into place. We need this starting point lol

Yup, only tanked for 2 years, traded away their star player for picks and a prospect in SGA. Youngest roster in the NBA, missing their top pick this year and almost a playoff team. They were just in the playoffs in 2020, George demanding a traded worked out of them.

Took on bad contracts for picks, flipped Russ for CP3 for picks, then flipped CP3 more picks. They've made some mistakes along the way but are in a great spot, should've kept Sengun. But no ones perfect.

too bad chet is out. would have been even more fun. SGA is a top 10 player, legit superstar. Giddey is super unique and young with loads of upside and showing it. been hot these past few weeks. last 10 games they are 6-4, his net rating is 5.6. averaging 20, 8reb,6asst, 59%TS
