I don't really care that much and don't see a big difference. A rookie at either spot isn't going to make a big impact on next season anyway. Plus it's a lottery. Losing more is going to have no impact on where we draft, in any way that can control. It's just slightly better odds. I wouldn't shite can the rest of the season to make it happen.

But with 10 games left and no Murray or Trey or Herb, it is stupid to trot Zion and CJ out there to play hard and try to win.

---

We aren't going to win. We are not a good team and will lose almost every game. But players should play, if healthy. That should be the culture.

The most important thing for us is Zion to keep evolving. Shutting him down and giving him off is just crazy. It's a massive wasted opportunity.

has nothing to do with that. The season is over. When you put in your two weeks notice in do you bust your arse those 2 weeks?

I've never given less than a month notice and never slacked the whole time. My professional reputation is too important and when I make a commitment, I try to do everything I can to fulfill it. Has nothing at all to do with any of this. But it's sad that you wouldn't see it through.

The eagles sat Barkley their last game b/c it was a pointless game. Everyone does it b/c it’s the smart thing to do when thinking about the future and the ultimate goal of winning a championship.

This is a massive leap. I'd be shocked if we are a playin team next year. You are talking about Championships. That is a lot of confidence.

I still want to watch basketball. It's more fun when we are at least competitive and there is something compelling to follow. I don't really care about winning that much, especially this year. Just give me something fun to watch..

With the Raptors win tonight, we need the Nets to win against the Raptors or Wizards and the Sixers to win against Washington or Toronto to give us a much needed cushion to finish out the year at 4th worst. The eastern conference tanking is too elite for the Pelicans to tank into the bottom 3.

The Raptors tried to play most of their key player's minutes in the first half and sit them for most of the second half and still couldn't out tank the Wizards.

The Wizard said you're going to play your key guys 25 minutes tonight eh? Well, we'll play our key guys 21 minutes with no shame.

You're right. Typo.

If we don't get one of the top 2 picks in this draft, I don't care that much where we draft. I think there is value throughout the top 10 and I do not see a ton of separation. I'd actually love to get another top 10 pick and double up. So I wouldn't mind us moving down, if we landed up 3-5. That's why I don't get the urgency to lose so bad..

As it stands, you want Flagg.

Aside from that, people kept saying top 3 were secure, but having watch Harper & Bailey play --- not sure theyre that much better of prospects than Edgecombe, Johnson, Jakucionis, etc

I enjoyed watched them work together and they all seemed super connected with each other.

Most of "them" won't be in the nba next year, so i don't really care how any of them did. That was a glorified summer league game that featured 4 legit backup nba players on our team, which is why we won.

go look at my OP and look at who is picked 3rd or 4th, and then who's picked 7th or 8th over the last 10 or so years. There's a huge difference in value between the two.

So I wouldn't mind us moving down,

Moving down rarely ever works out for the team moving down. It did once, when Boston let Philly take Fultz #1 while they took Tatum, and that was Boston knowing Philly were morons. Our GM is a moron.

Tonight's significant on the ping-pong watch with two games about to tip right now.

BKN at WAS
At this point, I don't think that we have much of any chance to catch WAS, so I think we want BKN to win.

MIA at PHI
In this case, it's clear that we want PHI to win.

If we were to get wins tonight from BKN and PHI, it would do a lot to lock up 4th place going into the lottery.

This will help.

Zion can play against LAL and/or LAC.

Zion can sit his arse out the rest of the season
