Boban

That would be a fun group to watch.

I'd like that. But what do we do when we end up going 10-0 with that lineup to finish the season and wind up in the playoffs?

Just come up with some injury like Andre got hurt while rapping or something and Reggie broke his jaw after staring at himself in the mirror for too long, play the young guys please.

Ellenson might need some rest though. He's already played 54 minutes this season.

Going for the playoffs or tanking? How would we ever tell the difference? ;-)

Wouldn't you? Gotta go back to the dregs of the Smith era to find a period when I felt as bad about this team and it's future as I do now.

You mean when we'll be forced to either give a completely undeserving max to KCP or lose him?

There's not much silver lining to this offseason unless by some mid summer Christmas miracle we move up in the lottery.

It's not like we suck, we just plain don't. We haven't "tanked" per se and gotten a great draft pick since Grant freaking Hill.
