Also don't trust this guy, he has Raptors era Jermaine O'Neal as a sig when he was already washed up, and is also a remnant of the GM moves of Mr. "There's room for organic growth".


Hey, leave Jermaine out of this. He's just my favourite player of all time. Anyway, tanking does not guarantee any success. Not every team can become the Spurs. For all we know, Wiggins could become a Jason Richardson type of player. Tanking this early in the season is a horrid idea. What if Wiggins and Randle do not live up to their expectations, and we end up drafting one of them. I say we give it some more time. Tanking is way too early.

Why can't we just enjoy the damn wins for a month or so. It's not like we can't break it up in a month. Most teams begin tanking after December/January.

Also, we may grab a good PF before the trade deadline, which will give us more hopes in the first round. I'm tired of losing. It's been six damn years, and that's about all I can take.

The positive thing about this season is, we started 4-5. When was the last time we started 4-5? Playoffs are a possibility, and if we can get that 5-6th seed ( which is possible ) then why not do it.

If we break it up now, we'll be out of the playoffs picture for another 3-4 years. That will be 10 straight years without playoffs. We will become the laughing stock in no time.

PF isn't the problem with this team, unless you think Amir Johnson and Tyler Hansbrough aren't carrying their own weight. If you want 8th place and above, you probably have to address the issue of 3pt shooting, since us winning against the non-terrible teams has a lot of emphasis on being streaky from 18' and out

This is now a tWo thread. Like Hogan vs Rock, while the wrong side may win, we all know which direction the TORONTO fans want to go.
