2024-2025 Tank Race

I'm fairly certain we aren't doing this same thing over again next year. We may lose, but not like this.

You’re in for a rude awakening. We may not get the worst record but we still are tanking. I expect one or both of Collins and sexton to be dealt, and I’m sure every option for Lauri will be analyzed, and he’s already down with another year of suckage just cook up some injuries after the allstar break. It’s happening bucko

Pick #31 feels like a pretty nice asset. When you’re tanking you shouldn’t throw in those extra seconds so flippantly.

I’d rather have LA’s first. Also at the time of the trade no one saw Luka all of a sudden being traded to LA. not really the Jazz fault.

Another year of sitting random starters every game will go over as well as the highlighter yellow Jerseys. Especially after we nab that 5 pick for our troubles. I still think we are in the lottery next year, but we will actually play ball. The West is brutal enough to keep us down organically.

What a **** show. We had no business being the ones including second rounders in that deal, let alone two. Now we’ve traded something worth more than a late first. I remember a lot of people always dismissing the lack of value in second rounders picks in Ainge deals, jettisoning them or leaving them on the table in other deals. And to your point about it being nice to have other people’s seconds to play with… yeah. “They’re just second rounders. Why so upset lol.”

I agree on every point.

We actually need to come up with a new term on how we address late FRPs and early SRPs. Maybe use something like "mid draft picks" which refers to picks in (late) 20s and (early) 30s.

Fact is that you can argue that 31st pick is actually more valuable than 30th, because there is more contract flexibility with 2nd round prospects rookie contracts... yet one of them is addressed as "FRP" and the other "SRP" with massive mental devaluation attached to the latter term.

Lauri is down for another year. He said as much.
