    Karma -- this is what tanking gets you and when that is your only plan -- Thanks Cronin -- he can go F' Himself

    Exactly. While getting 7 sucks, we probably would have targeted Holland, Williams or Matas anyways if Sarr and Risacher are off the table.

    We need to try and win next year. Losing doesn't work.

    Bright side. They will suck again next year and they saved Jody a few million.

    Giannis was taken at pick 15 in a bad draft. Just have to draft right. Some players in this draft will be good.

    Oddly, this is slightly better than I expected.

    Now watch the fucking Spurs get #1.

    Ok. Washington and San Antonio definitely did. It negates any kind of dumb Karma talk. Such lazy thinking.

    Once again, I've never heard FROM ANYONE on this board what options they would've chosen other than tank. Ya'll talk shit about Cronin non-stop and have no better ideas.
