EG, Anderson and Tyreke are what they are.
The latter two are false
Tyreke is 24 and still has facets of his game he can improve on.
If he even becomes respectable at the 3 point line,he'd average 16-18 off the bench and would become more of a nightmare to defenses than he is now.
That can be improved quickly
Anderson has improved even this year and is an amazing asset.
EG can GTFO
Hell i still think rivers can become a legit 2 ,he's already become a solid defender with a decent 3 point shot.
Jrue is well worth a pick that may or may not pan out and is 23 himself.
All we need to do is get rid of eg for a pick or expiring and we'll be set imo

Although I think a lot of people misunderstand "tanking" in the NBA. It's not about purposely losing games
quote:
tank | verb
: to be very unsuccessful : to fail completely
: to make no effort to win a contest (such as a tennis match) : to deliberately lose a game, match, etc.

Your definition does not match what everyone else's common definition does. Also, do you think teams like the Spurs, Heat, and Thunder just get good by having the best players? These teams have been able to play together and develop chemistry.
We need our best players to not only get better, but get better playing together.
And to the people that think we should actually tank in the standings, you are crazy. I don't understand how it will be beneficial in any way. If we are the 6th worst team, we will likely just be making another team better. That team is also one of the worst in the league, and likely to keep us one more spot out of the bottom 5.

nearly all of Jrue's advanced stats have gone up and are still trending up.

most of tyreke's have done the same, especially his assists, steals, and rebounding percentages.
LINK
anderson's numbers haven't gone up much this year, but that's partly due to his missing so much time with injury.

i don't think any of our players outside of smith and greg and possibly roberts have hit a ceiling, TBH. some may not be far off, but most have areas that can and will improve.
