This will be what our *checks notes* third time trying to get Harris? I'd say the interest is probably legit. Math adds up that we finally get our hands on someone we've been after as they're talent dries up.
That ship has sailed
Detroit tanked like crazy for Wemby and then dropped to 5th in the lottery. Dropped to 5th two years in a row, actually. That can be pretty demoralizing.
And yet the 5th pick is a much better position then the 9th or 10th position lol

We land 5th in the 2025 draft and no one will be demoralized. Okay maybe some will… but there will be less overall demoralization. As a utilitarian I think that is a better course of action for now.
Not necessarily. Maybe you get a better player at 5th than 9th or 10th or maybe you get the better player at 9th or 10th than 5th. Either way you definitely have a worse team if you are picking 5th than if you are picking 10th and therefore need more to be a contender.
Last year when we went on that run was pretty demoralizing since after that we made tank moves and I thought to myself why not do this before the season? Then we did something like win 5 games the rest of the year. Lol
But that’s what Utah wanted and that was clear after the tanking moves they made at the deadline in each of the last two years. Knowing that wouldn’t you rather have the 5th pick instead of having the 10th?
So its the new jersey dude this time around right?
Just no way to know.
