Thats just hindsight. Once we sucked in preseason and then started 10-3 no one knew what we had and what the hell was happening.

Blowing it up then and there is so easy to declare now, after the fact, but werent you the one who made the championship tank thread?

The best way to tank would have been to take the Knicks offer. You wanna go back to choose that?

It's not hindsight lol.
I wanted Conley and Clarkson traded before the season started and didn't want to trade for Collins. I wanted to roll with rookies (Ochai and Kessler), scrubs (tht and the like) and rest Lauri and Sexton a ton.

Do you think we would have been more tanky having followed that plan?

Why is probabilty math so hard for yall?

So many people here act like the best possible 1/7 odds would have all but guaranteed us Wemby while our 1/21 odds meant "we had no chance".

Odds are stacked against you either way. The team with the absolute worst record picks 5th almost 50% of the time.. like the Pistons did last year.

Oh sure, now you're going to tell me I'm better off "investing" my money rather than spending $800 a month on lottery tickets. To win a billion dollars. A billion.

Yeah, sure, whatever boomer. :rolleyes:

I never said it would guarantee us Wemby.. but it would have increased our odds at getting a chance at him.. and personally, when a player like that comes around, and you are already starting over anyway, then you could and should give yourself the best possible chance you can at getting them.. and if it doesn’t work, that’s fine. At least you actually tried.

It’s baffling to me that people act like they did the right thing by holding on to guys Conley etc for half a season, only to tank half the year anyway… and then we did the exact same thing again this year. And now I have to pretend to be excited about Taylor Hendrick’s potential for the next 3-4 years rather than someone like Miller, or the Thompson twins.

A franchise going nowhere should never be satisfied getting a 9th pick year in and year out.

Edit: had to mess with this post because this site on mobile is horrific.

This is by far the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen this franchise do, and it’s exactly why I don’t trust or believe anything Ryan or Danny say about how they are committed to building a championship team… I can’t believe it’s such a controversial opinion, especially on Twitter and Reddit which is full of people who think Danny and Ryan are front office gods who can do no wrong.

You trade 4 starters away, say you are committing to rebuilding, and then don’t even give yourself a chance at getting a once in a generation prospect in the draft. It’s completely inexcusable

You say the Jazz “don’t even give yourself a chance at getting a once in a generation prospect.” Demonstrably false.

The Bulls appear to be ready to blow up their team. I'm sure Ainge will offer to help them in their time of need.

Should have moved Demar at the deadline. They super dumb. I think they may still end up re-signing him.
