Win Friday, lose to OKC in 4-5 v Lose Friday, 14th pick.

14th pick and the 16 or 17th pick isn't much different.

If we lose on purpose for the 14th pick, just move the franchise already.

If no Zion I’ll take the better pick

Win Friday, get BI value up more in the playoffs then trade him

This is the true difference maker, if you believe BI is capable of this.

Of course the flipside is Griffin sees BI playing well and says "See, this is a guy who can do this, we will make it work"

and if you give a shite about the players on this team

---

To be fair, there's only like 5.5 players that I really give a shite about (Zion, CJ, Herb, Jonas, Jose and sometimes Trey) and one of them is out until next season.

I like hawkins too but we never see him play. Dyson was showing us something as well.

---

If we could merge them together, I'd care about that player.

Although with Pels luck, we'd merge Dyson's offense with Hawk's defense and sign that player to a max.

Hawk got his playing time and hit a rookie wall in the worst way.

I'm not worried about him longterm, he's a net negative for the team right now though.

Dyson, I'd entertain a trade for him if we could swindle someone on thinking his offense can improve, because I'm not sure he'll ever be anything more than a pseudo-Tony Allen. If there are no clear upgrades though, I'm fine with him being on the roster as Herb foul insurance.

It would be the 14th vs the 21st. Once you get in the playoffs its only about record and since we have 49 wins we'd be ahead of a lot of those east teams. Still not a huge difference.

I don't care about the rationality of getting a better pick.

you should... it's how you build a better roster, so you can actually BE in the playoffs, rather than having to PLAY IN to the playoffs...

i feel your frustration.... we all do.... but the best interest of the team, right this moment, is losing friday, missing the playoffs and drafting 7 slots higher.... gives you that much more collateral to construct a stronger, deeper roster

quote:

---

I'm fricking sick of not being in the playoffs

---

bro, we all are..... this "superfan" shite you trying to pull is all fine and dandy, but it ain't gonna make the situation any better... we are in the position we are in, it is what it is.... the short sighted "i just wanna make the playoffs" is just that... short sighted... long term, its better to build a better roster, hopefully get a better head coach, and then proceed with Zion as our foundation to build upon and around....

Too many dudes busted arse all fricking year to go from the fricking 4th seed two fricking weeks ago to taking a fricking vacation in April

you can thank Willie fricking Green for that... he's one of the worst gameday coaches in the league, and if we don't move on from him, we will be in the EXACT SAME SPOT for as long as he is here.... this is our ceiling with Willie Green as our HC

Bro I mean this with all due respect, and I do mean all due respect, but you can kindly suck my balls. I want to win. The draft is a fricking crapshoot. The percentages of picks that hit at a starter or role player are small percentage points with the difference of draft positions available to us.
