I think the positive scenario is another lottery pick that can net you a potentially good player or a great trade asset. The team could play okay and just not be enough or load management happens. I see more positives the other way, which is why I hope for it but they are both fine at this point.
To be fair if we win 2 in a row this board is all about how many chips we will win and if we lose 2 in a row we are the worst team in the history of the NBA.
Some losses are worse than others
It really isn't because you base it off of the best players age. Both teams have a young core group with bonafide stars. Odd are they will be solid for near future. Maybe not best team in the league solid but definitely solid playoff team with the upside of being the best team in the league.
Team tank got a flawless victory last night. Rookies being gifted minutes… vets frustrated… coach seemingly in on the tank… I mean in on “the future”.
I feel like you have a really bad grasp on the cavs. There core group most definitely has a good shot to come out of the east a few times over the next 5 years. They also aren't a one man team so they aren't going to collapse either if one really bad thing happens. Hell this year was a disaster with Garland and Mobley going down for a long stretch yet Mitchell and Allen were so good that it didn't matter. Saying all that we should go out of our way to make things harder for them by going after Okoro this offseason. Worst case scenario we make them match a decent contract.
You are definitely coming from overconfidence bias. Nice to know you realize it.
I have a great grasp on the Cavs lol. I think you have a bad grasp on the sustainability of their current team. For instance you suggest Donovan and Allen have carried them to winning which is correct. One or both of those guys will be off the roster in 2.5 years. It’s a virtual guarantee. Both hit free agency and Mobley will be on a spendy extension. So the guys that have shown less ability to stay on the court will be what they are relying on.
