Can't believe Suns are going to lose against Kings, Magic, and Nets in the span of a week, thought they could pull off at least one  , #2 might be in trouble.

Shelve Swaggy now, his specialty is late season demoralizing big games.

Do you think cap flexibility is worth the top 3. I think a team with cap space could help us. I'm thinking of Brooklyn, who has 2 late 1st round picks. I'm thinking about swapping picks & unloading 1 of the last regimes free agent mistakes. Then give the kids 1 more year & go hard for 2 max players in 2018. Whichever mistake is left after the draft attach them to Clarkson or Randle for even more flexibility |

| Yeah this is really, really bad. Suns management basically doesn't give a (bleep) what anyone thinks, they're going to tank in the most obvious way possible. |

Catch a communicable disease and forfeit the remaining schedule?
I am just trying to think outside the box.

| I haven't been watching their games (just tuned in to this one for a few minutes). I know all about the personnel decisions, but are they doing anything different with their schemes/coaching, that is causing them to lose so much, and to horrible teams? |

| I know what the percentages are for both situations, but I just don't believe we're keeping the pick if we move to the 3rd worse record. |

That is pretty scary regarding the Suns.
But the Nets have been playing well lately and they have the incentive to win for the first back to back game of the year.
I believe that the Suns will win one more.
A 16 games losing streak is not realistic in this time.
Players will get up to play well one more time. |

Hm, they're playing well and still play the Sixers and Magic twice each down the stretch. That gets them to 19 wins, and there are some other games I could see them winning in the remaining schedule...
But I think even though I could see them getting to 20-21 wins, it's hard to see us losing EVERY one of our last 11 games. We shall see. It would be (bleep) great if we ended up with the worst record (that sounds so wrong ). |

| What you guys aren't thinking about is that Minnesota could just decide to go all in on their own tank at any time (that's not even taking into account the fact that we can beat them if they're not tanking). |

Overrated as (bleep). 28 points but 9-26 FG in 40 minutes.
DLO with this much green light would be a 21-7-6 player right now on much better efficiency.

| His efficiency is still slightly higher than dlo's this season (not by a huge amount). Definitely can't call him overrated. |

There motive to tank is obvious, and the NBA needs to act on it. |

I don't think they will either. They are in tank mode, all the way down to the coach. Silly idea to beat Phoenix in that last matchup.
