The beauty of our current talent level is that we can fight, we can battle, we can scrap and most nights we'll still lose. We have potential, but only Lillard's is realized.
Philly did the ultimate tank job. Lets see how long that takes to pay off and what the repercussions are from being so bad for so long. It takes a toll on the players and the fan base. For the Lakers it should be easier because theoretically they should benefit from free agents to assist with the rebuild.
It will be ugly and painful and emotionally I hate the idea. It is also the only course of action that gives us ANY hope. Free agency is hopeless when even 2nd tier guys like Monroe are laughing at you. Using cap space to facilitate trades? That gets you players who are over-paid, not GOOD players. With the cap/luxury tax threshold about to jump, no team will be trading decent players in a salary dump. This will be the worst season in recent memory for trying that approach. The draft is our only hope of gaining a second stud to go with Dame. At that point, assuming you have preserved your cap space, the presence of 2 young impact players put you in the hunt for something other than the bargain bin FAs.
I get you bro. I'm okay with "tank fest" but I guarantee Dame isn't. He will play to win every game because he's got the "it" factor. If you want to tank, you can't have dame.
This is always a misconception with people. I want them to try and win every game. I just want it to be with young guys
I honestly think, even with the players we already have, we will still be a 38-44 win team. Call me crazy
I never make predictions until at least one NBA game is played. That would be the full on mags..Sly will be predictable and predict 82 wins but those are wins in dog years, not human years so I guess divide them by 7
Ok, let's talk about making the 7 or 8 seed and getting shit canned in the playoffs like we always have.
