Except for when it did, remember? TWO wanting us to tank from 2013-2018, and then we consolidated assets and nabbed a superstar.....and started a league wide trend of other teams doing the same. Maybe, just maybe we should follow the same formula that won us a championship?

The Kawhi trade materialized in part due to us trading away the #9 pick we drafted.

Oh cool...so TWO is quite comfortable with us picking 9th this year.

:lol:

Not in the slightest

Serious question guys. How long is this tanking discussion going to go on for?

All season.

Then the offseason.

Then next year when they will want another top pick while the team instead tries to wins games

And Zion? Zion would obliterate us with Olynyk playing the C position.

It's literally been ongoing since the day Kawhi left. There are people on here who I can't recall ever actually cheering for wins lol. It's not going anywhere.

Ujiri makes start/sit decisions? The delusion here is absolutely astounding.

Only that the Pick wasnt ours, but New Yorks with a detour through Denver. We got it by trade not by tanking.

Our pick was 27, Siakam.

Thank you for proving my point about you. The moment something doesnt go your way you are starting with insults against whomever you are angry with at the time.
