Hornets @ Mavericks GDT

At this point I'm fine with tanking out the season and finishing with a top 10 pick.

 

 

I mean, another playoff sweep, or...

I'm fine with tanking. With that said though this offseason Lance needs to be bought out and Jordan has to talk to Clifford about his rotations. Al's expiring (assuming he takes his player option) should be traded also.

[Omega Atrocity]

We're not going to tank. And even if we did we would probably get the 10th or 11th pick. And we all know that 9th pick from last year is really helping us.

[Proudiddy]

Yeah, it's kind of redundant. What's the point of talking for a high pick when our coach refuses to play guys simply because they're young and he favors vets. It's stupid.

No way we buy him out. His contract is highly valuable next season on the trade market.

It was supposed to be "highly valuable" this year...

We could easily shut Kemba and MKG down for the season and finish below Orlando in the East. Won't happen, but you're vastly underestimating the lack of talent on the squad.

You're probably right, I really just don't see a point tanking, I've became too jaded by horrific draft picks.

Getting off topic here, but believe it or not Russell wasn't even the best player on his high school team. Ben Simmons was, he is currently a senior now and going to LSU next year then will likely be the number 1 pick in the 2016 draft. He is one of the best high school prospects I have seen in the past several years. Doesn't take anything away from the absolute baller Russell is though, he kinda reminds me of a young Harden in some ways.

We are now a full game out of 8th...

The March schedule is chocked full of games against the teams around us. That will make or break the season.

Yea I was saying that too in a couple threads earlier but honestly.....I'd rather us get rid of that cancer ASAP and use the roster spot on someone else. Unless we can trade him without sacrificing picks then sure.
