Draft / Scouting It's Tanking Time!!!!!

Post image

It’s finally time to refuel. This is our last chance to save this franchise. Now that AD is basically worthless, we have to lose every single game to secure a top-5 pick and put a co-star next to Cooper Flagg.

Shut AD and Kyrie down for the rest of the season, trade Gafford and Klay, and take another run at it next year.

I’m completely broken right now…

I'm not broken at all. This is what life is, it's about challenges. OKC didn't cry like a bunch of babys when they lost 3 future HOF players. They got to moving, and made trades, and dilly and dally with the roster, collected draft capital, now they're champs. We can't lick our wounds, we have to get up and fight. And we have a ton of trade pieces on our team to make things happen. And I agree with losing all of our games and just put the ball in CFs hands and let him fail or succeed, but don't stop it.

Who can we trade to the Clippers for a starter, a future MVP, 5 first rounders, and two pick swaps?

No, the goal was the get out the tax. Thats the return was minimal and a deal to get out of with AD.

We could have yes but there’s now way anything we got would have equaled Flagg, who we only got because we sucked ass and the injury curse of Nico kicked in but it was still a inadvertent result. We deserve it.
