    It's far too late for that now.

    Yeah, obviously. I'm asking what you would've done differently?

    CJ for picks would be the starting point. We would not have been bad enough to be in great position to get him, but it would have given us a chance.

    Going back years there are so many things I would have done different. Hell, it probably would be awful, but I would not have let the fucking cake bake

    You can get sick off of cake batter if you don't properly bake it.

    True. But eat the same thing every damn day for years and you get sick of that

    Getting "sick from" and getting "sick of" are two different things though. One is an issue and one is a palatable offence!

    Okay, let's say we did trade CJ to Orlando for their 1st and expirings early enough to tank. Orlando finishes exactly the same (currently the 12th pick) and we tailspin down to about where the Pelicans are at 9th.

    That gives us a 4.5% chance with one of the picks and 1.5% chance for Zion with the other one. Is that better to you than being in the mix for home court advantage again?

    Yes. We are simply not a championship level team right now

    And anything can happen. This is not a time to throw in the towel.

    In before “yeah, he got 31 against #3 UNC, but he played >30 minutes, took 19 shots and had ZERO assists. On a team with multiple 1st round picks!”

    I like him a lot. If nothing else he looks like Fun Barkley 2.0. The post was satire.
