Over the years I have been very vocal about making the distinction between tanking and rebuilding. So, I feel obligated to offer a disclaimer that I am back-sliding a bit. ...but yeah man. IT. IS. TIME. TO. TZZZZANK. We need to tank and hold the line.

I have no idea how I'm gonna make it to May... And lottery night? :o I honestly care less about where the pick ends up...more about not having to do this again next year.

This. It's such a chore checking on these picks owed.
The Al pick, the Brooklyn pick, the Minny pick, now this Dallas pick. :o . Stressful.

This Dallas pick has to be the most stressful of them all.

I never thought it was possible for the Mavs to land the 6th slot, but apparently Mem wants to convey that Boston pick this year. People are stressing when the 6th spot is what we wanted from the Mavs from the day the trade was announced.

We either get pick 7th - 8th and maybe 6th this year or a later pick in 2020 which I prefer because I like the talent better in the lotto. Wiz, Lakers, and NO are teams looking to tank hard and the Mavs have been called out by Silver in the past.

I’d feel more comfy if the Mavs stayed in 7th vs moving past Memphis to #6.

Odds of landing the 1st pick and getting into the top 4.

1st pick Top 4

6th place 9.0% 37.2%

7th place 6.8%. 29.4%

Stahhp it. Everybody knows what your underlying goal is. Why not just peddle your wares on the Mavs board where they'll be more attractive?

Here, it amounts to fancy-pants trolling.

If the Grizzlies beat the Magic in Memphis tonight and the Mavs drop their game to the Rockets then Mavs are in a tie for 6th worst with the Wizards.

Wow. This last month should be fun. And by fun I mean, fun!

Writing right % is trolling? Or, whatever I write on this board is trolling per se? It looks like discrimination to me.

You do remember that you were posting videos of the Mav's Rookie at least 3 times a week before that thread had to be locked? How else are those of us that remember that supposed to view your posts here??? I don't want to feed you, but it had it had to be said due to the audacity of your quoted post. :lol:

I went to look at this threads. It was 2 threads. In one I didn’t posted a single video and in other I posted 5 videos. And the name of that thread was,..........Luka Doncic. Try to guess, who posted 10x more of his video in that thread. It starts with Ja....

You can view my posts however you want, they’re still true. It’s difficult to understand, how right % is trolling.

The odds are available on tankathon. It's math, it's not subjective.

He comes here specifically to sow discord. He has zero intention of discussing the Atlanta Hawks. Yet he comes to the Hawks board and lurks -- waiting for anyone to mention Dallas or L**a.



He's here to stir up trouble. No either reason.
