I also think it should be impossible to be outside of the bottom 10 or 12 teams and win the lottery. If you are a middle of the pack team like the Mavericks you shouldn't even have the opportunity to draft someone like Cooper Flagg.
Are the Lakers just not very good they’re getting blown by from scrub players.
I’m 41 too I get it. Imagine playing in the NBA against 21 year olds that can jump out of the gym.
It’s only unethical if it gives you an unfair advantage and seeing how we still aren’t a playoff team right now in a small market that doesn’t attract free agents while losing to the Mavs with a .6 chance for the Flagg sweepstakes, I think it’s more than fair.
I still think we should tank here's why. I do think Ace can be really good but we just saw how huge the gap was between Cooper and Ace. Ace is a long ways off right now he's very one dimensional and can't create his own shot, Hendricks is a long ways off, Williams is a long ways off and we don't...
Give him a year where we aren’t tanking. You can’t judge a coach when we are actively TRYING to lose. The one year we tried is his first year then we made trades. And now we’re playing without Kessler who is most of our defense, a couple of lottery picks that really haven’t panned out...
If we get rid of Kessler we get rid of 90% of our defense. Who else in our starting 5 can defend? Unless the Pacers give us their pick this year theres no way.
To be honest I don't think that's a factor - I just don't think Ryan Smith thinks to himself...ok we'll make our money either way so we don't need to be that good. I don't get that vibe from the ownership at all. I think they recognize fans are tired of tanking so it's fatigue. But...when no...
We’d have to give up Ace and we tanked a whole year to get him then also say bye bye to this years pick because we’d be too good. Then we’d probably throw in walker. That’s WAY too much for a rental who won’t be happy here.
