It's time that we longer beat around the bush. Last year's tank thread started before last year's summer league so it's not like this is early at all in comparison.

Lakers are now 2-11, and will be 2-12 after we lose to the Warriors on Tuesday. We are also now the 2nd worst team in the league. Projected #2!

And fact remains, as long as Tank Commander Byron Scott is still coaching, we will always be a lotto team. So no more Low Key tank threads. It's time for the official one.

So signups officially starting now! All aboard!

At this point we should all out tank yet again. Unless we fire Byron I can't take this team serious or this front office.

I was confident last season but I'm not sure general Byron Scott has enough shells loaded for a successful mission this time around.

Firing Scott would literally be the only away I would abandon the Tank. Because that would also mean we would then hire Luke Walton!

But until then....

If we want them to lose, we gotta keep hoping they play the young guys and give Marcelo the ball. LOL

Unlike last year though, this time...he has his secret he now likes to bring out in the final minutes of the game...

THE BLACK MAMBA!

We really need to end up with the worst record with our pick only being top 3 protected. I think 2nd is more likely

Funny enough, the young guys are actually helping this team win more.

When Kobe was on the bench in the 4th, the team was coming back and were only down by 5. Kobe checks in though, bricks the first 2 shots.

He's our Ish Smith!

I think this time, we could actually end up with the 1st or 2nd worst record.

Pelicans are gonna start winning now with their players coming back and a much easier schedule from this point on.

Nets also won today and also HAVE TO WIN anyway since they have no draft pick. They also play the Sixers 4 times so they will definitely pick up the pace.

I don't know. Didn't someone posted even the worst record in the league would only have 2/3 of the chance at a tip 3 pick? The odd is too big for me to totally jump onboard, is rather see Russell and Randle keep improving
