Tanking will be really gone if we trade for a star and sign a stud FA.

Yup. Sadly, the rebuild is still here. Got a long way to go but no more worries for draft position.

Still too early to say this. Gotta wait to see what happens during the offseason with the draft and free agency. I really hope it's dead, I wanna see us competing for the playoffs and playing in meaningful games again.

THANK GOD.

So we have 2019, 2020, 2021 and onwards for our own 1st round picks, yeah?

So we can trade 2020 1st round pick this year if needed/wanted.

It doesn't work like that. Teams are going to tank if they aren't in the playoffs. It's just the best way to build a team if you don't have top free agents coming in.

If we're in the playoffs, then no tank.

Pick automatically goes to Sixers next year, so no tank for sure next year.

RIP Tank.

It's been a ride. And as a result of it:

Ball
DLO
Ingram
Randle
Zubac

Let's go baby.

Also Nance, JC, and #28. Best young team in the league for sure.

Tanking will be back if Lakers sucks again this upcoming season. To be honest, I don't think they tanked. They are just not good enough.

2018 pick is unprotected to 76ers. We keep our 2019 pick.

Btw I hope we don't have the team on your sig.
