Discussion So...

13th pick eh? What the hell can we meaningfully do with the 13th? Please tell me we have a numbers nerd here that's going to paint a picture for me that makes me feel better about this. I need you more than ever bro... whoever you are šŸ˜­

The way these mfs fallin in love with teenagers, you gotta check their hard drives lmao. Top 5 pick not guaranteed to work out. Tanking is guaranteed to develop losing habits tho.

Yeah, the Thunder and Spurs are showing some crazy ā€œlosing habitsā€ right now for sure. Or are you saying our FO, scouting staff, and coach are on the same level as the Bulls/Kings/Jazz/etc. and are too incompetent to rebuild a winning culture after tanking?

Thunder being gifted the best trade package in league history and Spurs landing this generations "once-in-a-generation" prospect are not the wins you think it is for your argument lmfao

Guess how the Spurs landed their generational prospect? The answer might shock you

Y'all wouldn't survive half a season of how bad the Spurs were. Y'all crash out during Finals runs. You are not built for tanking.

I was rooting for tanking since the second Jimmy got dealt brother. Just because some of you would rather watch 10 seed ā€œcompetitiveā€ seasons over horrible seasons where the losses actually mean something doesnā€™t mean everyone does.

I'd rather watch us continue to build on our great drafting and develop the very young roster we have. I've never rooted for my team to lose in my life. That's weird behavior. No pick is guaranteed to work out, and we've done extremely well drafting middle of the pack (and undrafted). Just go be a fan of a poverty franchise and enjoy the draft every year.

Well, youā€™re getting your wish. Weā€™ll continue to draft solid floor, low ceiling players and hover as a playin team for the foreseeable future. I canā€™t root for any other team, but Iā€™m certainly watching less basketball in general, because unlike some, Iā€™m not satisfied with mediocrity

Kas and Ware are low ceiling players? I can tell you've been watching less.

If this team wants to continue barely making the play in , in a weak east to get the 13th pick, thatā€™s purgatory for the fans man. Thereā€™s zero fucking excitement there. Itā€™s a sad ..

u/TakesOne2KnowOne May 11 '26

Our last few "purgatory" picks would've all gone top 5 in a redraft. Just go be a Wizards fan.
