2025-2026 Tank Race Prediction Contest and Current Results Thread

The elephant in the room is that Lauri hasn't been sitting to help the tank but because he actually was too sick to play.

We had some cushion so this win didn’t hurt us as bad as wins did earlier in the season.

Your beliefs are incorrect

Some more projection

The only reason I think the worst case scenario isnt possible is the unexplained Nurk DNPs.

Obviously you dont DNP Nurk if you wanna win. He is a glue guy for this team.

Agreed. I have no idea if the unexplained Nurk DNP's were legit or not. I hope not.

Minnesota and Cleveland are both in the play-in tournament currently. I would love for both of them to lose. We own a pick swap with both but only if we have our pick.

Asset management tbh. Dude is big and older. Want to keep him healthy for the deadline if anyone ponies up and actual asset for him

They were explained. Him and Svi were DNP’d for player development.

Honestly I'd rather them not be in the lottery just to avoid the nightmare scenario of multiple teams jumping us and losing the pick.

And even if one of them jumps us and we keep our pick, one of them would still get a top 8 pick

AND if they jump it probably pushes us back a slot on top of however many other teams jump.

I would need a link confirming this explanation from the organization. And even then, I dont really trust what they say in regards to tanking or not tanking at this point.

it's crazy that we've already replaced Donovan Mitchell production within two years, still have Lauri, and also have Kessler Ace and more draft picks to come. Next year gonna be great. Really really major off-season for Kessler.
