Its Time to Tank

Trade Clarkson, love the person , great scorer but if we are going to unlock Lauri potential to the fullest, we have to get rid of the ballhogs, they only look for their shot,while everyone else trying to get open with no chance of seeing the ball . Clarkson would get us aot back and help the team at the same time.
 
Not sure on JC... but if you sent out Mike/KO/Gay to LA for Westbrook and the right to swap the worse of the NO/Lakers pick with the Philly pick (and maybe some seconds if they have any) I would be highly tempted to do that. Lakers should do it as it opens up the possibility that they can do a sign and trade with the expiring salary of Mike/KO/Gay (kyrie) next year or go after a star like Beal/Dame/Lavine with their two picks they saved. It helps them salvage this year and not just let Westbrook's deal expire.

We absolutely clear the books and can pursue FA/Trades with maximum flexibility. Follow it up with a Beasley/Vando move.

Give Lauri a few nights off here and there... and BAM we are the 7/8.
 
Im very very much in the camp of trading the vets. I want KO, Conley, and Gay gone. I also want to trade beasley. Clarkson im still not sure about but leaning trade.

Last night Kessler gets 20 minutes, sexton gets 22 (in one of his best games of the season) and Ochai gets 12. I want more minutes for all three of those dudes. And zero minutes for NAW in a game where lillard is going off and NAW has length to bother him. smh
I'm very much in the trade Clarkson, Gay, and KO. I'm okay if we get something decent trading away Conley and other's for a good move. I'm not real high on anyone outside of Lauri and to a lesser degree Kessler. I strongly prefer to trade them for younger players with upside who fit in over just dumping them for crap players and meh 1sts.

Guys like Vando and Sexton I'm okay letting develop more. But if we can combine them with someone/something else for better players I'm good with that. I think they are okay role players but likely not much more.
 
I'm honestly shocked more teams haven't tanked this year. With Wemby and Scoot I thought this would likely be the worst year for tanking ever.
Its time for Danny to hit everyone with a sneak attack.
 
What are people's plan for the next couple years after we tank this year, particularly those wanting to dump all our players for picks? Those picks aren't going to help us for quite awhile. Seems like if we go that route we should trade Lauri as well. Or are you wanting to tank this year then use lots of picks to trade for players next year?

I don't think anyone wants to dump everybody.

The commissioner can take away picks. He put out a memo to not intentionally tank. So a million teams are just hanging around..
 
I think we're only like a game out of 13th in the west. It's time.
And 2 games out of home court.

How crazy is West right now? Some seasons 26-23 and 23-26 is the difference between like 8th and 9th.. this year its the difference between 4th and 13th.
