    Exactly. Win now, get this team reps. Make a trade or two.

    The time is now. Tanking is for pussies.

    Except the guys we wanted to get reps didn't get the reps we need them to get for us to know what they are...

    We have as many questions about Scoot and Sharpe as we had before this season.

    So wasted reps and wasted time. Arguably counterproductive season for the young guys we are counting on being stars, all so we can get the same caliber of pick we've been missing on for decades.

    Definitely, a couple well timed trades could put us on the level of San Antonio, OKC, Cleveland, etc...

    All we have to do is trade the guys we don't want for guys who are better than the guys we already have! It'll be easy!

    And tanking is still for Pussies. Chess players and tantrum throwers.

    You can call San Antonio, Golden State, Boston, Philadelphia, OKC, and Milwaukee pussies if you want.

    While you're at it, most of those pussies will likely have their foots so far up our asses that we can taste their pedicure.

    Everyone else will call them NBA champions. Or elite.

    We don't have the 300 future picks OKC did to build their roster.

    Which means we'd have to be on a slower build than them. It would take careful planning and patience... Which our ownership and/or management team clearly doesn't have.

    They certainly don't but we don't really have a choice in the matter.

    Or maybe they're just going to be the best management and coaching staff in the league and just "pritchslap" the rest of the league repeatedly on our way to a dynasty...

    Well this was not unexpected. This fucking shit show of a franchise won enough, but not enough to get a pick that mattered. With Bert's "vision" of Grant, Ant and Ayton "leading" us to greatness we are fucked. Thank you all for playing, and to those who dare to derail the greatest game on the interwebs, go fuck yourselves
