Not sure the order of 2-10 will matter that much in the long run

Thankfully after all this "rebuilding" we have neither of those.

I'm happy that at least we'll try and win next year.

Imagine Washington and Utah are already set to tank again to try and have the same thing not happen. Imagine watching their games next year.

Im all for moving the pick for immediate help, by the time #9 is even a regular for us our core is getting too expensive for the peak they provide. Might as well go all out on being the best #5/6 seed possible.

Khaman at 9 is really a blessing as we get to pay him less than at 7 if it happens.

It was a fun ride brothers.

Tired of arguing with these fake casuals who think it might be better to win fake games than tank properly.

I'm here for the ride, I'm here for mediocrity.

The NBA will NEVER allow a legit future NBA all-1st teamer to go to Canada.

Don't get me wrong, there was a time I enjoyed mediocrity. But as you get older you will realize how tiresome it all is.

The teams that tanked properly aren't in the top 3.

So...

Sixers tanked properly and are 3rd. All the other teams that tanked properly with worse records than us have higher picks than us (Wizards, Jazz, Hornets, Nets, all have higher picks than us). Spurs tanked properly and got down to 8th best odds (which they had to tank to get down to) to then move up.

I don’t know if Queen is a raptors type player but if Malauch is gone we might take him. He has good dribbling and looks spooky at times on offense. He doesn’t mix well with our guys but if he’s bpa I think they take him.

lol. The spurs tanked properly? And we didn't?

The teams that gutted their entire core now have 4-6th picks and this success?

Cmon man, even for you this is pretty bad.

The spurs had no business being down where they were. They literally sat key guys and tanked down the stretch. They did the opposite of what we did.

I'm relieved the tank thread is dead for this next year. This is just strange at this point.

We were 9-31 at one point... All the teams that tanked with worse records than us have higher picks and the spurs that you brought up literally tanked their way to 8th to put themselves in position to jump.

The Sixers are 3rd because Silver wanted them to be 3rd. This **** is so rigged it's comical.

I still think it's better to be in Utah, Charlotte, Washington's position and be picking 4-6 than picking at 9, but it's not a huge difference. We were probably going off the board with this pick regardless.

And we ended the season with a worse record than the Spurs. So I'm not sure how they tanked properly and we didn't. Again, Silver and the owners decide who picks where. A team's place in the standings is irrelevant.
