Won the bad conscience game of the year. We are the nice guys after all.

Colin Sexton?

Why not take this Robert Williams guy and let us resurrect the wall with JVG. The forbidden paint five 2019.
KP,RW, Kawahi(quads already in NY),Frank, THJ(in for fairness).

LeBron is going to Philly and still there will be people who refuse to accept that tanking is the most viable strategy for building a contender in today’s NBA

and then I commit seppuku with a broken fragment of a JD and the Straight Shot CD outside MSG

I really like Zhaire Smith so we might luck out and select him if we’re leapfrogged and both Bridges are gone

But that’s the only possible good outcome that could come from a leapfrog scenario, short of trading down for two mid lotto picks, which I highly doubt our FO will fo. This team is cursed.

What Chicago did was completely shameless, but hell, if they can get away with it, I wish we’d do the same. There’s no reason KOQ or THJ or Lee has to play in any remaining games. Just sit them. Screw it.

I think Nwaba is a useful player who has a place in the NBA and Portis too… outside of that, maybe Holiday as an end of bench guy or Valentine in a couple of years and that’s pretty much it.

Technically we have a chance to leapfrog someone too, it’s just obviously never going to happen because Knicks.

I’m a bit afraid of Charlotte completely self destructing, they have looked just terrible lately, but we’re four games behind them and have a pretty rough schedule, so that’s not happening at least.

I just hate to see Beasley playing any minutes in these games. Hardaway at least is here for the long run anyway and Kanter will probably opt in, but there’s no way we keep Beasley for next year right? Management can’t hate us this much.

Of the guys that Chicago played tonight, how many would even be in the rotation of a playoff team? 1?

If we finish 9th there’s still a 13.4% chance that someone leapfrogs us in the lottery.

We’re picking 9th unless somebody leapfrogs us in the lottery, so the games from here on out are utterly meaningless, even from a tanking standpoint. So I can now completely tune out, which I’m kind of thankful for. So go ahead, Timmeh, knock yourself out! Score a bunch of meaningless pointzz! It doesn’t matter anymore!

The thing is, this is really kind of a 9-player draft. In my opinion the quality falls off quite a bit after Doncic, Ayton, JJJ, Porter, Bagley, Bamba, Mikal Bridges, Carter and Trae Young. So Dolan’s Razor dictates that a team below us WILL leapfrog us in the lottery. It’s pre-ordained. We’re not getting one of those nine. If one of the nine is available, the geniuses running this team will pick somebody else.

Reminder that no one will give half a fuck who the Bulls benched in a meaningless game if they wind up with a franchise player.

People swore for years that the “losing culture” or whatever would destroy Philly from within and now they might sign LeBron James because they have good, young players.

I don’t love the system, but as of right now it is what it is and, contrary to what some people think, there is no reward for willfully ignoring its basic incentive structure.

At least we got Willy in the second rou—oh, yeah. We’re dumb.
