That doesn't make sense. What if the 1st seed wins the lottery, then you are jumped by three other teams?

I like to watch Drew play, so it sucks a bit in that sense, but it's hard to get worked up one way or the other about a trade like this. Hard for us to say how important the mentorship of Patty Mills was.

Maybe not that weird, but we also can't sustain the same kind of play later in the game with the same lineup (start of Q1 for one).

Jazz really have a way of starting out super strong, then folding like anyone's business. I guess it's partially other teams just getting out there thinking it's an easy win, but it also feels like we play Really Well those first minutes. Kinda weird.

Finally hoping for a win!

They didn't for OKC, though.

As for long-term planning, that might be the best, but tanking sucks so ****ing hard. Please, no. I'm invested in just throwing this season, but I need to get back on track here.

Yeah, that's something I'd have to think about, but LAL being the FA destination it is, I wouldn't at all trust them to be really bad once Lebron and AD are gone. They will suck if they are still there, but get injured, though.

I wouldn't consider that for a split second. That's not close at all IMHO.

Drew is quickly becoming a premier shot blocker. He's really fun to watch as well.

The '25 and '27 Cavs picks are definitely mid, but I certainly wouldn't call the Wolves picks mid. Not the '29 Cavs pick either.

Not looking great... This Warriors team isn't much to write home about outside of Curry.

Nice win for Memphis. Huge mistake by the refs not calling a foul on that putback by JJJ, but worked out after all. Also nice day for my fantasy team with Naz Reid having a solid game. Impressed by Jaylen Wells in this game, not so much by Zach Edey.

I'm thinking it's mostly "left and right"?

I was hoping we'd be too good to tank and I always wanted us to fight for a playin instead, but now that we are where we are, I've checked out of the season and am just hoping for a good draft, really. With no relegation there is really very little to get excited about now.

So if Zion never plays we've dumped great picks for the pleasure of waiving the ever-injured Zion? I'll pass.

Yeah, CLE picks might all be pretty late, although I'd be ware of trading the last one. It's this year's plus '27 and swaps in '26 and '28, no? Edit: So we're still several picks away from 4-5 FRP.

Not playing this year isn't a problem, but if we trade real value for Zion, I'm guessing the idea is to become good relatively quickly. If we want him to sit on the bench and take up cap space for 4 years I can think of better plans. I'm pretty out on a Zion deal regardless, though. Of course...

(Given that you gave up substantial value, of course. If we're talking Collins + Cavs this year + one future pick with some protections like HH suggested, that's a different story, but I don't see that happening.)

But if you trade for him and decide to waive him because he didn't meet his played games quota you've just made the worst trade in NBA history (okay, okay, probably not, but it would be a contender).
