Dallas just jumped Milwaukee for the 9th spot. If they dealt Giannis they could end up being serious tank competition.

Lots of season left, i'm worried that we aren't gonna do much better than finishing at 6th worst. We are simply so much better than the five teams below us. It will take some incredible tanking even to stick to 6th place. Wizards, Pacers, Kings, Pelicans, Nets -- of those 5 i think only the Pelicans might be better than their stated record.

Dont the Hawks get the better of the picks between them this year? Or am I reading that wrong.

Hawks get better of Mil and NOP. So if Mil jumps up then they get wherever NO landed. That Atlanta heist is crazy.
Crazy how Atlanta is going to get all this good stuff just to be barely at .500 every year
MIL’s best plan of action is to try to win the lotto. If they win the lotto they can proceed with Giannis+Top4 rookie or trade the pick. If they don’t, just trade him in the summer. This year is a lost cause for them.
Crazy that ATL has the better of NOP/MIL….so they’d need two teams to hit the lotto I guess.

Doesn’t seem like Giannis is fine with punting a season in his prime.

Yet it's happening anyways
He's gotta ask out, but it doesn't seem like he's willing to do that either.
But the TLDR; is that the tank must roll on.
Hopefully the Pacers are plain stupid for the first time ever or, yeah, New Orleans leaps us (we play them three times!), but we are not catching Brooklyn or Washington in any event.
Ehh, they could try and swing for a trade for like Morant or Davis and sell it to Giannis they can win out of the play-in and once they’re in the dance anything can happen.
