    we not gonna win anything, and a good pick can be value in a trade for a guy who can really help us. I say get a top 5 pick and trade for some one at Sf.

    We just lost to the king after get 2 wins in a row. We are fucking garbage for real. Trash team! If we can make the playoffs, AND WHAT? Be sweep by the GSW or rockets? We are TRASH, MEDIOCRE AND UNLUCKY TEAM.

    I'm getting closer to the idea of trading CJ for a borderline top 5 pick. Tank and get our pick in the top 5 as well. Try and land Bridges and Ayton, or some combination like that.

    The Kings were coming off a massive loss, playing at home with something to prove. And they played exceptionally well considering their record. And we only lost by a few points.

    Let's put the pitchforks and torches away, we'll win tomorrow night and the king's will suck again in no time. Give them their win at home.

    Really i hope something happens, using that tpe and get a quality player or tank. But to go that way right now is stupid. I feel sorry for Dame to play with so many useless Players. I wouldn't blame him if he want's to get tradet one day

    You can make an excuse for one game, but it's not just this game, it's losing at home to Brooklyn, barely eeking out wins against terrible teams at home, crapping their pants at the end of close games...

    We've only really looked good in 4 games this season. The 1st two, and the Denver/OKC wins.

    Some of you will always have an excuse... the victim mentality... losses to Kings and Nets are inexcusable

    No reason to tank. But I want Troy Brown from Oregon on this team. This kid is going to be great.

    They scored less than 90 points and beat us (and it wasn't because of their defense). I wouldn't consider that an exceptional performance.

    I can't believe people actually suggest tanking as some type of legitimate option. The only thing worse than losing is degrading yourself enough to lose on purpose. No serious competitor should ever stoop to that level imo.

    I just can't see Olshey trading CJ. He'd have to be under orders from Allen to shake things up. But who knows? We might get there. At some point his "all according to my plan" bullshit will wear off. People will see his faults.

    There's no need to intentionally tank, the natural course of events may take care of the problem without anybody putting their fingers on the scales.

    Trade for what "SF who can help us"? We need free agents to want to play for us. If we suck, they definitely won't. If we had been better last year, we'd prob have Melo. Furthermore, with Dame on your team how exactly do you tank?

    We should tank every season. Do you realize how awesome we will be?

    If we trade cj, than hopefully to the cavs to get that brooklyn pick. I am sure they would do to show LeBron they want that he stays there. With our own pick we maybe would have two top 10 picks

    Ha yeah. No tanking needed for lottery. How are those season predictions going for everyone?
