That's unfortunate. I would like to win next year. Also, the guy a lot of people think is the best prospect since Lebron is in this draft.

I thought the plan was to wait out the Warriors era. Then the TWolves era. Then the Sixers era. We've got a good decade and a half to go in the Timeline. Patience!

No. The plan is to tank this year. Win enough next year to attract an up and coming FA, then sign them before Book's new deal kicks in. But instead, we'll likely not tank enough (like winning this game despite 30 turnovers), not get a high enough pick, have to draft a much riskier prospect, and then suffer through anti-tank fans jumping up and down to claim that tanking doesn't work, while ignoring how it has for the teams who have done it well enough.

Cannon ruining things. Literally one of the worst shooters in NBA history. Comes in and basically wins the game by himself.

They should have brought Shannon The Cannon back instead.

Anyone see Booker's confused look after the W when walking onto the court? That was my exact reaction :lol:

Good win Suns. Finally.

A nice win but what about the tank?! :crazy:

RaisingArizona · Post #137 » by **RaisingArizona** » Sun Dec 17, 2017 3:33 am

This tank **** is **** annoying. Any win is good for morale especially against a playoff team on the road. ****, there's no pleasing tankers.

Also trade Booker. Don't need him. We're now 1-9 without him. Trending upwards!

best way to "tank" is be as competitive as possible and lose. Prioritize development, good habits, compete level. If you win, you win. wins here and there are good for morale.
