Tank World Order V (Rise of the Phoenix)

[Syd-TK3]

We move down from 30th to 28th. Tankathon sim now gives us the 1st or 2nd pick way more often than when we were in the cursed 30th position

Exactly lol Worst record in the league hasn't won 1st pick since the change

Yeah man, with a whole 5 years of sample size, it's basically a foregone conclusion. Definitely nothing will change over time to even out exactly like the odds are laid out or anything.

Worst team will never win the 1st OA pick!

Glad you understand being the worst team is cursed

really like Mgbako after watching some clips. Not a hyper athlete but feels like he just knows how to play.

oh i guess it doesn't matter then. Since there's always a chance we can drop out of the lotto.

Hopefully this goes without saying but that is only my opinion.

I’m really high on him.

Followed him last year until about January as he wasn’t playing good enough to be considered for the draft. Then he blew up to start this year. Hope it continues.

the Pelicans starting lineup/roster tonight is crazy

In the FVV vs Siakam game, Siakam is winning the battle today, but the Pacers seem to have lost the war. The rockets at least aren't tied to FVV for long.

The Pacers as it's going right now is on a road to treadmill land. It feels like Hali just robbed the Pacers atm.

I've never seen a team go from optimistic to pessimistic so fast in 1 year.

1 trade could change everything plus have been missing guys with injury.

For sure Haliburton sucking has hurt them though

[shrink]

I thought you guys would be surprised to hear that the Wolves have lost 19 straight away games to the Raptors!

[ItsDanger]

The objective remains to get as high a draft pick as possible.

These references to past lottery results are made too often on this board. They have absolutely zero relevance to the '25 lottery.

He’s having like a Ben Simmons level mental block right now. Playing through that injury last season so he could make the all nba team did him in I think. Hope he turns it around. Not until after next season though because we have their pick next year.

I read around there's been issues with his back so that might be zapping his usual athleticism in movement.

It's almost like them playing against nothing but massively injured teams last year gave people an inflated sense of how good they were.

I bet there were no people here that said that.

Probably just gonna be chalked up to "hindsight" like everyone critical of the Jak trade

The key about touting your hindsight is also owning when you were flat out wrong. And then doing the math on the %s

[Vampirate]

Barnes has been marked as a game time decision so he's probably playing in the next game or 3.

Tanking dynamics aside, it's going to be interesting to see how he plays off Gradey and vice versa.

Who's he pushing to the Bench? I'm guessing our 3pt shooting drops either way.

That's easy, it's Davion.

In no way can you put Gradey to the bench.

If he's at SF it's Ochai.

I'll be sure to start drafting the spreadsheet now.

Some humility would be nice.
