They didn't for OKC, though.

As for long-term planning, that might be the best, but tanking sucks so ****ing hard. Please, no. I'm invested in just throwing this season, but I need to get back on track here.

Yeah, that's something I'd have to think about, but LAL being the FA destination it is, I wouldn't at all trust them to be really bad once Lebron and AD are gone. They will suck if they are still there, but get injured, though.

I wouldn't consider that for a split second. That's not close at all IMHO.

Drew is quickly becoming a premier shot blocker. He's really fun to watch as well.

The '25 and '27 Cavs picks are definitely mid, but I certainly wouldn't call the Wolves picks mid. Not the '29 Cavs pick either.

Not looking great... This Warriors team isn't much to write home about outside of Curry.

Nice win for Memphis. Huge mistake by the refs not calling a foul on that putback by JJJ, but worked out after all. Also nice day for my fantasy team with Naz Reid having a solid game. Impressed by Jaylen Wells in this game, not so much by Zach Edey.

I'm thinking it's mostly "left and right"?

I was hoping we'd be too good to tank and I always wanted us to fight for a playin instead, but now that we are where we are, I've checked out of the season and am just hoping for a good draft, really. With no relegation there is really very little to get excited about now.

So if Zion never plays we've dumped great picks for the pleasure of waiving the ever-injured Zion? I'll pass.

Yeah, CLE picks might all be pretty late, although I'd be ware of trading the last one. It's this year's plus '27 and swaps in '26 and '28, no? Edit: So we're still several picks away from 4-5 FRP.

Not playing this year isn't a problem, but if we trade real value for Zion, I'm guessing the idea is to become good relatively quickly. If we want him to sit on the bench and take up cap space for 4 years I can think of better plans. I'm pretty out on a Zion deal regardless, though. Of course...

(Given that you gave up substantial value, of course. If we're talking Collins + Cavs this year + one future pick with some protections like HH suggested, that's a different story, but I don't see that happening.)

But if you trade for him and decide to waive him because he didn't meet his played games quota you've just made the worst trade in NBA history (okay, okay, probably not, but it would be a contender).

Maybe after he's played more than half a season?

I would think he's both a gerbil and not a gerbil, at least until we can see for ourselves.

Disagree strongly on the defense on that particular possession. It's a tie with a few seconds on the clock, you don't risk a foul by contesting that shot much more than he did.

A player may dribble a second time if he lost control of the ball because of: A field goal attempt at his basket, provided the ball touches the backboard or basket ring So definitely okay with backboard now, at least.

Which isn't the rim, but I guess the rules have changed.
