Tank World Order (6.0)

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

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?
64
54%
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.

18%
Team Neutral: Have not decided what direction I want the team to head. Waiting until later in the season to decide.

Everyone? They have been horribly injury prone and were not that good to start.

They have been somewhat unlucky so far. Should get back to .500 or close to it.

Tari Eason
Jaden Hardy
Bennedict Mathurin

After the first tier is gone, the second tier is in the eye of the beholder so to speak. Their isn't much separating say Kendall Brown Tari Eason for example (Still taking Brown over Eason).

1st tier IMO
1. Ivey
2. Jabari
3. Chet
4. Paolo


Looking at Kendall Brown and TyTy Washington right now and possibly AJ Griffin if he enters.

If we get Kendall Brown somehow at 10, we won the draft imo.



He has just an elite natural feel for the game of basketball like Barnes.

Bring him off the bench as backup SG/SF/PF in year 1 and give him 25-28 minutes. He would go off.

LMFAO, what makes you think having Barnes + FVV + Achiuwa can beat Joel Embiid?


Embiid played last night.

What a ridiculous thing to say. :lol:

Yeah PHI played down to our depleted team. Did you not see the open looks they gave Boucher and other 3rd stringers?

LOL played down to our team. :lol: TwO is not even trying to make sense anymore. Would you say that if the situations were reversed? We lost by 3 points despite being without FVV, Barnes, Birch and Precious. The Sixers are a .500 team this year. To think we wouldn't be able to beat them at home with a reasonably healthy lineup is absolutely absurd. Especially when you consider we barely lost by playing guys that haven't even practiced with us and are straight from the G-league.

I don't think you guys realize how often you guys contradict yourself.

I think you take this thread too seriously. A lot of the posts here are just for comic relief.

The whole "fake wins", "Team Mediocre" tags are similar to how Donald Trump would push an agenda regardless if it actually makes sense or not.

The Ujiri/Nurse direction is pretty clear. They are trying to win. If they make the playoffs great. If they look like crap heading to the all-star break, they may tank the rest of the way similar to last year. Posters that dont agree with this direction are living in their own reality and are actually against Ujiri/Nurse's main building philosophies which is absurd considering their track record. The OP is a known Ujiri hater.

I do like coming to this thread for some of the prospect videos that are posted but I dont really trust anybody's judgement on them....Tank for Suggs or die trying, Tank 4 Wiggins were actually TWO movements. Most posters dont know what they are talking about.

Yeah I generally agree but I think what makes this thread funny is that these posts actually aren't for comic relief. They truly believe in this stuff. That's why it's fun coming here.

Thanks for pointing out that this TWO thread is really comic relief, but not at the expense of being grouped with Donald Trump. WTF!

In addition to his size and athleticism I really like his quick decision making.
