Isn't that what we want? :dwillhuh:

The Hawks play this past month has been strange...they're in danger of playing themselves out of a top 5 pick
I was worried about this too. We've been playing 0.500 ball it seems the past month or so

Dawg this team is more talented than a lot of the teams currently tanking which is why I’m surprised we didn’t move a starter or two. Dorsey is a player too and is now getting real minutes.

I understand that Schlenk said in the offseason that this wasn't gonna be a Sixers from a few years ago WOAT level team, but let's be honest about what's going on even if the Hawks haven't been. We're in a rebuild and need to proactively tear it down. If this sole purpose of this year is to get a franchise shifting top 5 pick there's no reason we should be on track for 30 or more wins and with the way we've been playing we'll be a 30 win ball club in a year where we really only need half of those wins

I fully expect Bud to start cutting mins. No way they can play themselves out of a top pick and still try to sell "competence" to the fanbase. I was originally against tanking but if you've had the worst record 3/4's of the way through, you damn sure better finish with it. Not getting a top 3 pick sets this franchise back again, imo.

Not trading away any player was disappointing. Fortunately, they are considering buying out bellineli and illyasova.

This shyt getting stressful brehs, a win tonight wouldve put us as the 6th worst record. We are playing well right now and the teams around us are entering tank mode hard. Anything lower than the 4th pick is a failure this season:francis:

Bembry been a bad pick for us but that draft was a mess in general. Everyone was trying to get out of that draft and few did well in it. It was a draft full of 2nd round talent outside of the top 8

It makes me wonder about the relationship between Bud and Schlenk...I don't expect Bud to cut minutes, he's a coach he wants to win now. If I had a coach who actively wanted to lose, even in a rebuild, I wouldn't want him as my coach. Keep in mind coaches are ultimately judged on their win/loss record...you think Bud willingly wants to lose 55-60 games? I think Bud is gonna play it with the intent to win every game we play

I'm surprised they didn't move anyone at least for another pick in this year or an upcoming draft. We're in year 1 of at least a 3 year rebuild. Bellinelli & Illyasova aren't a part of the future here, i was shocked we didn't move them for something to a contender who needed perimeter shooting

I said it before but I would trade our 2019 1st (top 3 protected), Dennis, Collins for Lillard. Use that Houston pick to get rid of Plumlees contract and go for a center in FA while drafting Marvin Bagley
