Unfortunate truth

We still got to play him to see if he has something. He showed flashes last year.

I want us to do whats best for the franchise long term. We need a top 5 draft pick. If we are playing AG and Mario big minutes and we win then Ill take it. But if we are putting Jeff Green out there for 30+ minutes then yea Id rather we lose.

You're assuming a top 5 pick will be best for the franchise? Did you see what we did with all three of our top 5 picks during this rebuild? And our recent trades? Do you really want to see the panic moves we'll make if we fail to turn this thing around? I'd rather see us start playing well, re-sign Ibaka and make necessary adjustments/additions this summer... the alternative is continuing to be at the bottom of the league for another five years.

I'll just leave at this since the game is starting. Just cause you go to the Casino and don't win big the first couple times doesnt mean you should stop going. We don't need adjustments we need a franchise player.

Embid is ridiculously talented but will he stay healthy?

Fournier has to see the open man in the corner.

Vucevic should be starting.

Like the aggressiveness but Evan needs court vision badly

Offense is like having nails touching your eyes.

You're overestimating our offense

And DJ misses an open Vuc and gets his jumper blocked. These guys have to do a better job hitting the open man.

We can get that player in this draft. So yes, this would be a good year to tank, but then we'd likely lose Ibaka in free agency.

I think it wold be better to start shopping packages like Vuc and Payton to the Pelicans for their first rounder and Holiday. And then use both draft picks to trade up into the top 3 if at all possible. Things like that could be ways to get a star without tanking.
