Really hope Kessler's not going to be on this plan the whole rest of the season.

That doesn't seem probable. However, from mid-March on doubt Lauri, Kessler or anyone else of NBA standard is gonna see the court much for the final 15 games.

Once again, Im declaring this the Elijah Harkless game

He got one scoring opportunity last game, and that's because he forced a drive and ended up with free-throws. He's on the "do not share the ball with" list, even though he's good for 30 on any given night in the Gleague.

Pull off a loss today and the schedule mixed with the trade deadline will help ensure we finish bottom 4. We can chill with the egregious tanking for a while and be okay.

Yeah, can’t take our foot off the gas. No pumping the brakes. Because if we do, other tanks will zoom right past us. Ending up as one of the bottom 3 is the target for me.

We have a legit shot at #2 but only if we make at least one tank trade. At some point you can't just rest Collins, Kessler, Sexton, Lauri with BS stuff. Doing that for 30 games or so may draw more than just a fine. So I think doing it now is smart then pull the foot off the accelerator just a little or we get to the deadline and part of the problem is solved with trades.

I think we are willing to deal. I think we are the 2nd or 3rd choice in many scenarios so will need to wait all the way until the deadline.

Not really any point in doing anything other than egregious tanking. Even finishing 2 VS 3 matters a little bit.

It does and if we can get away with it then great. Its just hard to convince guys to sit when their livelihoods are on the line. At some point the league comes in with some sort of penalty. If its a fine with a warning for more then whatevs. I'm just a little worried that doing this for the entire back half of the season draws more than a fine but they haven't done that.

Yeah, we should at least be able to trade Sexton. At this point, after we pivoted, I don’t see any point in keeping Sexton/Collins/Clarkson. We have seven young players already, and more are coming from the next draft. We need a star player on a rookie contract and are probably 3-4 years from being a contender.
