Nope.

This front office never “intentionally” fielded a non-competitive team to benefit losing. They did everything to keep this “core” together. You'd be an idiot to believe anything less.

Everyone on this forum has tracked their moves since they took over as the FO. Not only have they constantly pushed for “playoffs”, but they’ve never once made a decision to forfeit the players they inherited. Never once did they concede to taking a step back in terms of trading starters for future assets to relinquish possible short term wins.

Just because you dislike the results they’ve earned, through their inability to field a competitive roster, doesn’t mean it’s “intentional”.

Can’t wait till we move on from some of the mainstays on this roster. I have a feeling we’ll see certain posters disappear entirely when they are traded.

maybe at the start of the season. They have not tried to improve the team since the injuries. the front office is stealthily embracing the tank and losing.

Shockingly they didn’t make moves to improve the team due to injury. We will see what direction they decide to go with these potential trades. It will be the first time they’ve made any decision to move Hennigan’s players outside of Elfrid. It only took them 4 years.

I agree... this to me has always been a stealth tank season after we got hit with Fultz injury. We wouldn't have been signing end of the bench talent just to be able to field a team, we would have made deals to at least get NBA names to play for our teams.

If front office is actually so against tanking and not really doing stelth tanking, than they would use their disabled player exceptions. They got two. Used zero.

But front office is indeed tanking and letting team sink for a pick in 2021 draft.

Their only job for rest of 2020-21 is to trade Evan and maybe Gordon.

Comming from a guy who told you this front office will suck- in summer of 2017. But everybody was up in arms about Raptors bench and Giannis& Middelton.
Go figure.

I used to go on the Bucks board on here they had a thread dedicated to Tobias Harris after he was traded here and did so well. Most everyone was not happy with Hammond and the job he did there so when he came here I wasn't very pleased about it. I hoped that Weltman would be the main one and not so much him but looks like it's a mutual thing.

1st step, trade Ennis, Chief or Birch for a 2nd rounder to open up a spot.
