We are basically on year 3, and if we don't land a really good player via draft (Flagg), free agency, or trade, we'll be doing the same thing next season.
Definitely a good ending outcome. I just hate the stigma that comes with absurd levels of tanking, similar to what Philadelphia faced when they were not remotely trying to win and got Embiid. I think our tanking efforts have even exceeded what they did.
I make a pretty mean cheesesteak on my Blackstone. Never tried giardiniera, but will next time.
The hardest part is getting the right bread. We've recently been using Jimmy Johns bread, which they sell for like a buck a loaf.
I'm worried about the ramifications if we win the lottery. The media is going to assess our season and realize that this has been the biggest tank job in NBA history. We are far from the worst team in the NBA. There will again be calls to change the lottery system.
The incentive isn't...
I guarantee this is not just about Lauri. We've been blatantly sitting our best players regularly and the league doesn't like how hard we are tanking.
If we were actually remotely trying to win, I don't know what our record would be, but it would be substantially better.
This is kind of like someone in massive debt and on the edge of bankruptcy deciding if they would rather renovate their home, buy a new Tesla, or go on a European vacation. With a projected $1.9 trillion deficit, and current federal debt of $36 trillion, maybe focusing on what NOT to spend money...
From what I see on the NBA Tankathon website, we have 6 games remaining against Washington, New Orleans, Charlotte, and Toronto. Laurie, Kessler, Collins, and JC 100% need to sit all of those games, and give Cody 35+.
Serious question: What are we going to do with these expiring contracts? Seems like expiring contracts are more of an asset to teams that are one or two trades (for good players) away from being a contender.
In a league dominated by superstars, trading away a top 5 player that's 25/26 doesn't make sense. It's not like he has the same condition issues as Zion. Are people forgetting that he took a limited roster to the finals last year? I would be surprised if the Mavs make the finals again in the...
