Tank World Order (6.0)

Moderators: 7 Footer, Morris_Shatford, DG88, niQ, Duffman100, tsherkin, Reeko, lebron stopper, HiJiNX

At 9-12 where do you stand?

Tank World Order: Hope the team continues its downward trajectory so that they can add another top lottery pick talent to the core of Barnes and OG?

Team Mediocre: Try and win at all costs this season. Playoff experience is valuable for the young players on our team. Making the playoffs, even if the play-in helps preserve our winning culture.

Team Neutral: Have not decided what direction I want the team to head. Waiting until later in the season to decide.

Bulls should forfeit their games - guaranteed fake win

Chicago being obliterated by covid is a for sure fake win. Brooklyn and the Warriors should hand us L's though.

Maybe, just maybe, the Kings can beat us.

I was really into the idea that Mathurin could be potentially available outside the Top 10, but the way he's playing I'm not sure if he'll be on the board by the 11th pick.

Idk if they even have enough players available to be allowed to play. Won’t be surprised if bulls games get postponed

With a record adjusted for fake wins/losses we are 15-11. I will concede that if Lavine is also out then that will put us at an advantage with having OG and Birch out.

However, lots of other teams have been getting fake wins over us and teams like Cleveland have been piling on the fake wins lately so things have a way of balancing themselves out.

Forget the wins(and losses), being on the fake season and championship. This is starting to look a lot like last year.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Thankfully Covid hasn’t hit us hard (yet). Apparently Precious is just precautionary and didn’t test positive or anything. He would be cleared by NBA standards but Toronto regulations are why he’s in protocol. At least according to this report I saw a few minutes ago

It will happen eventually. Like last year, we might be one of the last teams hit and with the roster construction of flyers with near no experience and rookies, the fake losses should pile up. I don’t think Masai is tanking but I think he set up a situation where virtually everything needed to go right for a successful season (in the standings at least). Injuries and covid plus the roster depth and experience, you’d need amazing luck or crazy development from fringe players to not hit a super rough patch. Masai planned this.

Christian Koloko, guy screams out as a Raptor-type prospect
- 7'1 with a 7'5 wingspan. Not skinny, frame looks like it easily add good mass.
- Great defensively, mobile, great lob threat, can switch on guards, nice touch around the rim
- From Douala, Cameroon, same hometown as Siakam
- Only started playing basketball at 15, very early in his basketball development
- Soccer background
- Crazy year over year improvement
Image
- Monster advanced stats - 5th in winshares/48, 3rd in DBPM, 31 PER, top 10 in block percentage, defensive rating etc.

- Downside: he'll be 22 his rookie year but given his limited basketball development it shouldn't a big dealbreaker

Not mocked there yet but Mike Schmitz has him as a potential 1st rounder. Probably a reach in the mid-1st where the Raptors end up but could see them making a move to grab him in the late 1st

His first game wasn't that impressive, but he got a really quick release.
He looks like he can be a quicker player, but not sure how quick he can be against NBA level. Wouldn't mind pick him up if we got another pick. I like him over Flynn and David Johnson.

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.
