Its Time to Tank

Yeah but don’t you think in the Denver game he could at least have had a word with Hardy at half time and told him what’s what?

Come draft time improving just a few spots would be like getting blood out of a stone.

I mean all it takes is just a bit of common sense.

Oh-My Agbaji was killing it, you cannot bench a rookie having a great game, in front of a bunch of Family's and young fans who want to get a win against the best team in the West.
That kid is proving he was just as much of a prize in many ways as the Finnisher was. Not to mention he just increased his value if Ainge decides to do like DA does and uses him as trade bait.

No one would even remember this game come draft time. But it’s possible we miss out on a target because of 1 inconsequential win.

Yeah, I don't get the "coach's job isn't to tank" argument. Jason Kidd obviously got the memo. Great season with a D- tank effort.

how? even if the Wizards lose today they are still at 8 as we split the series and we have much better stats than they do for the tie breaker, even if we lost to the Nuggets.
I get the argument, just don't think it will matter at all. how many times has a team that lost a coin flip if it came to that ended up moving up in the lottery instead of the team that was one pick ahead before the drawing? I think its not a big deal when the % are all bad after the top 4 anyway. If we wanted a good shot at Wemby we would have had to sent Don and Rudy to the Rockets and Spurs

Why does he have to be a starter? How many teams are contenders?

This. What Dunn showed me is he can be a really effective PG of the second unit on a contender. Old school Nate McMillan. Undervalued by casual box score watchers, but appreciated and respected by those close to the program.

If he’s not going to be a starter giving up 4-5 draft positions to train up a back up PG when we’re nowhere near contending seems like a mistake to me.

We should be in talent acquisition mode and drafting higher should be THE priority.

I don’t think anyone here realistically think we can get Wemby..

But the difference between 8th and 9th pick could be Hendricks vs Black.. the difference in ceiling between those 2 in my opinion is vast.
