The only people who should be complaining are those that want the Raps to compete. Everyone else should be cheering for every Raps turnover, missed dunk, out of bounds play, shot click violation, etc...

I am only frustrated when they win. Big picture stuff. It's all about asset accumulation strategy.
You simply can't win a war without ammunition.
Who cares about individual battles won.

Keeps the Spurs from entering the tank teams like they have the last 2 years?
Most expect Utah to be there regardless...random win here and there or not. But limiting another team from joing the tanking group is a good thing.
I assume this was his thought process
The Spurs are above .500 in the west, we are....quite far from that and in the east lol. Wemby is too good for the spurs to be bottom of the league.
The Jazz are an actual concern, especially with Lauri going down last night.

The Jazz are going to out tank us by far. They are in that elite tank tier with Washington. Don't waste time trying to catch them
*INGRAM*ALLSTARSEASON* Wemby is HIM

Our tank would certainly benefit from moving Purple for future assets.
