[NUMBERICA]

it would have taken a lot to lose to Brooklyn they are bad

They were up by ten in the 3rd quarter. This game was actually losable. Lauri straight up shouldn’t have played (he shouldn’t play back-to-backs, playing him against the Knicks and only the Knicks should have occurred). Hendricks/Cody could have played a lot more.

I don’t know what we’re doing. We’re going to have to get shameful and fast if we wanna keep the pick. I’d rather have avoided the shameful part and done some tactful stuff on the margins like not play Svi so much, play Lauri >32 mpg, play our top-10 picks more. We would have several fewer wins already just from that.

Cody is not a good tank commander. He's too horrible. There has to be some plausible deniability, or at least an entertainment factor. A good tank commander is someone like Talen Horton-Tucker. A bad, losing player who nevertheless can go on crazy scoring runs and do outrageous things.

But when you're the worst player in the entire NBA who literally doesn't do anything on the court, all "development" talk is just laughable. Everyone sees you shouldn't be in the league.

If he is so bad that not even a tanking team can play him... and the FO/Coaches believe that... why not decline his option?

The nets played Tyrese Martin 22 minutes. He went 0-6 with 3 turnovers. Was -19 last night. Are the NBA Feds knocking on Brooklyn's door.
