Raptors not bad enough apparently.

We need Memphis and Portland to pass us.

I'm just posting where the picks currently sit before the lottery/coin flips. All these picks can move up or down after the lottery or tie breakers.

Those teams are going to put the pedal down in the last 20 games to tank. We are likely going to go the other way and keep playing our guys to try and get better

This pick is up to the lottery but the odds are against us. My position right now is if we lose it, we lose it

The more hopeless we look - and the last two games have been pretty bad - the more I'm inclined to save our pick for next year, because we'll be tanking again but in a much stronger draft (so people say, I have no idea about these things).

So, let Scottie play, and maximize our chances to beat the Pacers.

Although IIRC, we won the game (against the Knicks at MSG) after we suspended Pascal for the same infraction. Alex Len had a decent game. Suspending Scottie needs to be done, and may help to awaken Quickley.

Try and beat the Pacers. We can make their pick worse for our sake.

The fate of our own pick depends on the Lottery Gods no matter what our record is.

Miami winning today is also good for our Pacers pick.

another team not far from Indians

Indiana is having some serious competition to avoid play in .

Both Florida teams (like Indians) are aiming the #6 spot in the east .

Yea our own first round pick is top 6 protected in 2024, 2025 and 2026. If we finish higher than that it goes to the Spurs. This really hampers our development but hoping they strike on the Pacers speak which will obviously be in the late draft.

No point getting excited about picks when they will just trade it for another Kelly Olynyk.


Forgetting the young player to try have a actual point?

And you're that upset by losing the..what 28th pick?

He's a scrub dude

He's a young player who could at least be a potential rotation player.. and what exactly do you think 90% of late late drafted players are?

You're upset about one potential scrub vs another..
Besides the fact that said traded player has shown some actual solid games..

Ugh, the Grizzlies are so frustrating to watch. They could easily string some wins together but they are tanking. If the Raps tank, I'm good with that. If other teams tank, I find it despicable.
