Not as concerned about Sacramento as some of the EC teams. Bringing in Gay has energized that team. I'm more worried about the Lakers. They have absolutely ZERO life in them.
I'm concerned about Boston as well as Philly. We're barely holding them off.
I wonder how serious the Hayward hip strain thing is. Maybe the front office is seeing the writing on the wall and doing something about it. Time to sit Favors for tendonitis or something.
It would really be masterful if we could come in with the 2nd worst record.
Not to worried about them. If management tries selling this guy on a tank job he will be paying their daughters a visit.
Wouldn't it be easier to give away Jefferson and Marvin?
If the team doctors say Hayward is injured then he's injured, right? At that point the team can tell Hayward he's not playing, right?
I bet you are incorrect. They are probably tanking because they are worried he will pay their daughters a visit if they don't. Kobe wants his legacy to live on as a result of more championships and he knows that a high draft pick next year would be a big help.Not to worried about them. If management tries selling this guy on a tank job he will be paying their daughters a visit.
My updated tank prediction:
1st Milwaukee Bucks
2nd Orlando Magic
3rd Philadelphia 76ers
4th Boston Celtics
5th New Orleans Pelicans
6th Utah Jazz
Primetime, in future updates, it'd be cool to have a current streak column, so we can see who the hottest tankers are.
Easier? Nope
More effective? Nope.
Sitting a player due to injury is easier than making trades.
Gordon is better than marv and rj put together so sitting gordon is more effective for the tank than trading the vets.
Hopefully gordon continues to sit out
I think Gordon resting to get really healthy is a win win for the Jazz and him. Say he sits out 5 games, and the Jazz lose all of those, then he comes back healthy and plays like he did against OKC, and looks like an all star/borderline superstar. Then the Jazz lose some games, and Hayward gets to look great when he does play.
