It does sound that way, right? Ramona was describing it almost as priority #1. |

As long as we keep acquiring assets and giving the young guys more minutes, It won't kill me to lose. Altho my optimum scenario would be to win as a result of the young guys getting more burn. |

i rarely support this, but tanking means keeping 2017 and 2019 picks, we have to tank.
2019 is unprotected. |

If Luke is a team player he needs to fake a 2 month illness and let Byron do the job he was destined to do. |

Big time baby, we are in full Panzer mode. Without Sweet Lou and his instant offense we probably lose 90% of the remaining games. After all we have the second hardest remaining schedule of all NBA teams. Good crop of incoming NBAers though. |

That is without taking into account what the new rookie brings. It's perfect for now, we want minus, we want that pick!!!
Lets see what that plus/minus will be in about 4 years when Lou is heading into the sunset and the 27th pick (possibly another diamond in the rough) gets into top gear.
Gobert/nance/Zubac/Butler/leonard/jokic level player could be that pick? |

The season was already lost so trading Lou to increase our tanking was the right move. If we can get lucky to keep the top 3 pick to along with the Houston pick we will be in good position because this draft is supposed to be stacked. I could see the FO trying to parlay those 2 picks for a player like Jimmy Butler. |

At 2nd worst record, we have 55.8% of keeping pick (top 3). At 3rd worst record, we have 46.9% of keeping pick. So we'd increase our chance of keeping the pick by almost 10% if we could secure 2nd worst record.
The race to the bottom is ON!! Currently, we're in third place with only 1 loss more than the Suns. 76ers has only 2 more losses than we do so we do have to watch for them. 76ers will be most interested in losing to us in the standing since they have the most to gain. _________________ LeGoat!

The only way we have a chance at Fultz is to suck up to the Celtics for that number #1 pick. |

I think that's more contingent on Lou's absence on the Lakers, rather than Brewer's addition LOL
But yeah! Let's do this! |

Celtics won't get the 1st pick. Let's not kid ourselves. The lottery gods don't support those green meanies. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

I'm not sure why so many people want fultz. To have double dlo's in the backcourt. Too much skill set overlap. We don't need another undersized combo guard. Jackson is the truth. There's never once been a successful team in NBA history with a dual combo guard backcourt. |
