Memphis must have looked at the raptors active roster and gave up the tank.

Even with top 6 odds there's only a ~46% chance they select in the top 6.

If only Portland didn't blatantly tank with us we could have had a legit shot at top 5 odds. Not to mention Masai agreeing to a top 6 protection in the first place for a pending free agent role player. Might as well have made it unprotected while he was at it.

If only our FO tanked in the off season like they should have.

Convince yourself that a team with a healthy Barnes is as bad as Portland.

Regardless if we get the pick or convey it, I just want this season to be over with so the will it/won't it scenarios will go away.

If nothing else i'd rather keep the pick because at the very least, a young player has trade value for a future trade.

Before Scottie went down, we had a winning percentage than when we had Siakam and OG.

Scottie has missed 15 games all season.
RJ has missed 15 games since coming here.
IQ has missed 10 games since coming here.

We are THREE games back from portland. Yes, I absolutely know, that if we had the BBQ lineup all year we would have a worse record than portland with rest games/injury games thrown in.

As of Jan 17th when Siakam was traded, we were 16-25, portland was 11-29. We were trying to win, they were outright tanking. We would without a shadow of a doubt, been able to catch them.

Siakam is massively overrated but we're not ready to have that conversation just yet on this board. At least for a few years. :P

Actually if we read this board, wouldn't you say Siakam is underrated? Who here has ever said they wanted to supermax him? Not the tankers or anti tankers. Literally no one.

We need to trade Siakam for AJ Griffen before it's too late! - PhilBlackson

Over, under, or right on point. All things remain, we were booty cheeks before the trade, and we were even booty cheekier after lol.

Giannis deserves his share of blame for picking Griffin over Nurse.

Even if you hate Nurse 2 years later, what matters is the now.

Giannis is probably the one who wanted Doc, too. He's a trash GM.

I agree with your Masai criticism.

I’ll still take 46% odds over I believe 31% odds if we finish 7th.

Giannis is another reminder you can’t allow players to call the shots. Dude has been a disaster for their coaching situation. Not to mention the joke of having his brother on the roster. Looks like Celtics will roll to the finals.

Am I the only who think that we could win tomorrow.

RJ/KO back
Giannis/Lillard are questionable

Even if finishing 6th last is the most likely outcome, it’s not yet set in stone

Nothing fresh about this stink

If he was a Bronny Smith this is not even on the radar.

He isn’t draft worthy, even this year.

Lakers have a late 2nd from the LAC, that's about the only way I see him getting drafted.

But it would just make more sense for the Lakers to draft someone and then sign him an undrafted free agent. I can't see any team wasting a pick on him in the hopes Lebron will uproot his life to play with his son.
