No joke. Shut down Fournier and Vuc. Shut down Vogel. Have the athletic trainer coach the final games.


Why shut them down though? These guys have helped our tank all season. Especially Vogel.

Ideally.... i want us to lose all the games against trash and tank teams..... but win the ones that we were not expected to win. lol.... GS, SA, CAVS.... etc etc.....Just to make us feel like we still have the flashing talent to compete but yet are still shooting for the bottom of the league for the draft. lol

And totally unrelated:
The Lakers keep their first round pick this season if it's in the top-3.


The NBA must solve the problem of teams trying to lose games.

I loved the idea that the top-7 teams go directly to the playoffs and the bottom 8 play in a single game elimination tourney for the final slot. (there is a 15-team conference so that works out perfectly). Not only is this beautiful television - it makes team want a higher seed in the play-to-enter tourney.


..

Yeap would be great

Ideally I want a top 3 this year. We have blown our chances in recent years at tanking. I also want that 1st from LA.

All these teams around us(LAL, SAC, PHILLY) are purposely tanking and resting their entire team while the magic are still trying to win. #NeverLearn

I think that speaks volumes actually.

All these teams are tanking and yet we have almost same record as them.

Its called stealth tanking. Keeping Jeff Green and giving him and Watson heavy minutes is the ultimate tank strategy.

We not out tanking LA. Forget about it. As long as we hold off Philly for the 4 spot I'm happy. We still got work to do

Big tank game tonite. Kings vs Suns. Its a win-win on both sides but i don't even know who to pick to win. We are not that far away from the 3rd pick and a win by the SUns tonite would be huge. If Suns win tonite, we would be within ONE game of the 3rd spot.

If we somehow out tanked LA, honestly, the excitement would be like going to the Finals again.

Outtanking the Suns is a possibility but not LA. Have you watched them play? They are god awful. That and they have shut down all their vets and are running full youth. I really can't see them winning more than 2 games left this year. We have like 4-5 winnable games left.

If we end up dropping both games to Philly and Phoenix later this week, that would be a tank dream. Then again we might get screwed in the lottery. Even the Nets only have a 25% chance at the 1st pick.

I rather be in the 3rd worse then 2nd. The second has the highest chance to fall back to the 4th pick.

Skal looks like a really good prospect every time I watch him. Great value for where he slipped.
