If you're gonna tank, you have to get rid of CMW now. Trying to tank would be a horrible idea anyway, there are quite a few teams out there who could easily out-tank the Pellies. The backups have been ok to date, I don't think many people would have expected the team's record to be much different than it is now had the team been fully healthy all season... maybe 2 or 3 games better.

with a healthy squad this team would be right at .500 or a few games above it, but sure

I absolutely HATE myself for even saying this. If we want to tank, you keep CMW around. He's doing a great job at making us worse.

I am not too worried about the record as it currently stands but I have a hard time seeing this team accomplish anything with Ryno and Jrue out for any extended period. You would think with such a young team, you wouldn't get hit this hard with the injury bug.

Only way this makes sense is doing Bower 2.0, letting Demps coach them and guaranteeing job security. You can't bring in a new guy to tank. You can't make an assistant the coach since he has no job security heading into next season when George Karl takes over and brings in his own people.

No doubt. I actually think a team that is forced to make AD and Reke carry the team won't be bad at all so long as Smiht and EG know their places.
