    We had injuries too. We weren’t tanking with a healthy team. And when was Murray hurt?

    Talent was available.
    Again another poster that should read the entire post.

    I am aware of that. I had him as my favorite to pick up last year.
    The Blazers got the 7th pick. Just like they most likely will again this year. Not bashing Sharpe at all. He hopefully will become a great pick.
    You and I both know Dame is not waiting 3-4 years to get quality vets around him.

    I still can’t figure out why this is a big deal to all of you?
    I simply have confirmed exactly why I hate the idea of tanking.
    It’s being shown to all of you right now as we speak.
    Funny thing is all of you keep talking about getting players from teams like The Hawks who are playing head to head with the Celtics.

    But, TBpup, you don’t understand.

    All the stars could get injured at the same time!

    Guerschon Yabusele, Dante Exum at center of EuroLeague brawl

    MADRID -- A EuroLeague basketball game between Real Madrid and Partizan Belgrade was suspended with less than two minutes left after a brawl between players from both teams.

    Madrid was losing 95-80 at home -- and about to go down 2-0 in its playoff series -- when a hard foul by Madrid guard Sergio Llull on American forward Kevin Punter upset Partizan players and led to the benches being cleared.

    Punches were thrown, and two former NBA players -- Madrid's Guerschon Yabusele and Partizan's Dante Exum -- were at the center of the action. The 6-foot-8 Yabusele slammed Exum to the ground in the Spanish capital. Exum was later seen leaving the court with a heavy limp and the assistance of team personnel.

    "The tendon in his second toe has ruptured," Partizan's doctor, Moma Jakovljevic, told reporters. "It's a serious injury. He will have to use crutches to travel back to Belgrade, and we will have more tests there. His upper lip was also injured."

    Officials spent several minutes watching replays before deciding to call the game off with 1 minute, 40 seconds left. EuroLeague's website said the victory was awarded to Partizan Belgrade.

    "Euroleague Basketball strongly condemns the events that happened at the end of the game," the league said. "Such events do not represent the values of respect that the league and its clubs promote and that the sport of basketball embodies."

    The league said its independent disciplinary judge "will issue a decision about the on-court incidents in accordance with the established proceedings within the following 24 hours."

    "This is in the hands of the officials and in the hands of the EuroLeague," said Partizan coach Zeljko Obradovic, who previously coached Madrid. "I believe that what happened is not good for the image of basketball, not good for the image of Real Madrid nor for Partizan. This should never happen."

    The third game of the best-of-five series is scheduled to take place Tuesday in Belgrade. Partizan won the first game in Madrid 89-87.

    Who wants anyone from the Hawks?

    And they lost 4-2. First round and out.

    Of course you say an option is truth. At least you are consistent.

    Oh no. You can’t put words in peoples mouths.
    I said moves not trades. I said talent was available yes.
    I said I could name three moves that could have made a difference and I know you could also.

    Yeah your comment had nothing to do with what I have been saying so I guess I agree with your adding on? Not sure what your point is? Nobody said anything about the Warriors 4 years ago?

    Many many options have been discussed and I’m not even going into the exact same conversations that are being covered in like 20 different trade threads that are going right now. Not to mention the threads that were going all last summer.
    My position on this is simple. I have confirmed exactly why I don’t like tanking and I know I would rather have my favorite team make the playoffs than be sitting on the sidelines for postseason.
    My opinion here. Like on any other topic you are very welcome to disagree.
    Takes nothing away from us all hoping for the very best luck possible going into the lottery.
    I’m certainly Hoping they come out with the top pick.

    I’m just confused. You said repeatedly that there were three moves that you could name. Why can’t you name them now?

    I'm really happy & relieved when there is a pointless argument here and I'm not part of it
