If we're trying to get into the top 3, that signifies taking a slower approach and potential step back before getting good.

It signifies that we have no plan, which is a panic move.

We're a top 4-6 seed in the West when healthy, not a rebuilding team.

And even if we were a rebuilding team, this draft sucks and over-paying for a top pick form this draft is majorly -EV. It's not logical.

this draft sucks

As a reminder the last time this was said the draft produced Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, Tyrese Maxey, Desmond Bane

Taking a step back to increase your ceiling is not a panic move- its actual what teams should do but don’t.

Debatable. Whats fact is without Zion we couldn’t even win a game against the thunder in first round.

Yes the draft is bad in terms of top end talent but that doesn’t mean there aren’t players that make our team better and they would be on a rookie contract. How are they over paying? You think BI for Duren and the fifth pick is overpaying?

No we're not.

People do this thing you're doing where you predict where we'd be if we were 100% healthy and everyone else had their same injuries. That's useless.


We were one of the healthier teams in the West this season. Our top 6 or so dudes averaged over 70 games played.


If every team was perfectly healthy this season, we are a play in team at best. This team is nowhere near as good as you're insinuating.


Also, you're purposely miswording it as "rebuilding" when you 100% know that is not what it would be. It's a weak attempt on your part. If you were truly confident in your position, you wouldn't feel the need to misrepresent like you did here.
