re: Best Case EG trade scenario IMO

this is more serious than the tank for Wiggins crowd is but here goes:
they aren't going to tank next season. they may not quite make the playoffs, but they will not tank.
this young, island of misfit toys roster- with $17million in dead cap space- has been mediocre when everyone is fully healthy.
an improved Davis, FA signings, lotto pick, plus either healthy EG or his trade haul will be around .500 next year.
42 can correct me here, but I also believe that Benson is losing millions on the team this year. He wants a competitive team to put people in the stands and get eyeballs on the tube. I doubt tanking is high on his list of options.

Okc was one team. Look at kings, wizards, etc. Teams that always very high draft but never get better. A culture of losing can't be good for young players.
everything deion said!

I agree. Depending upon the signings and improvements, perhaps a little above .500.

I don't know how much Benson is losing, but, regardless, I fricking guarantee you that the marching orders are to win next season. And here's the thing, it's almost like some of the posters seem to think that you have be high lottery team until . . . bingo . . . you're a contender with three all stars and a nine man deep rotation. At some point, this team is going to have to move forward. It's not the end of the world to have an intermediate step, or take a baby step to put it another way, and have a season of contending for a 6-8 seed. Hopefully, by then you are in a position to add the final pieces that, along with continued improvement of your young players, makes you a contender.
