Let me play devil's advocate

Most of you know that I'm 100% against tanking, but I've been thinking about Detriot's pick. Say we win both games against them, I think we should make a trade for a deep playoff run. Say we lose both I think we should keep our players and our picks and hope to get the Pistons pick.

 

I don't want to full blown tank, but maybe just low enough to keep our pick..

How say you?

Pretty much this. Pick a route and stick to it, if you want to be the 8th seed in the Playoffs, trade your assets away and actually go for it. Want to suck, then actually be really bad. None of this in the middle of the road garbage because the team's FO can't decide as a group what they want to do.

That's exactly what I'm saying, we need to stop the middle of the road play style. Win both, make a playoff push. Lose both, tank.

We just need to get in the lottery though it would take a miracle to win it.

Do you think it would be worth it to trade a few players (like Hendo and McRoberts or so forth) To make sure the team gets into the lottery? Maybe even pick up an additional pick from a team looking for playoff help.

It doesnt matter if we win or lose vs. the next two Detroit games. We still stand a good chance of getting that pick whether we make the Playoffs or not. Detroit is in the same position we are. They cant figure if they want to tank or not.

 

Imo, if we dont make a bold move before the deadline then we better start thinking about "tanking" the season. We'd be fug going into the playoffs with the roster we have atm. This is a team that will get sweep 4 games by the Pacers or Heat.

 

If Cho and MJ believe that they want to make the playoffs, they better bring in one or two more pieces.

Are they cancelling the draft after this season or something?

Personally I do but I know a  lot of people won't agree with it, all I know is if we do make the playoffs we better be pretty sure we can reach the sixth seed.
