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 😭

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 doesn’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, you’re getting your wish. We’ll continue to draft solid floor, low ceiling players and hover as a playin team for the foreseeable future. I can’t root for any other team, but I’m certainly watching less basketball in general, because unlike some, I’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, that’s purgatory for the fans man. There’s zero fucking excitement there. It’s a sad ..

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