Yeah im still trying to understand the thought process of trading 4 picks(Especially the PHX picks) for 2 of our own back just to put a winning team on the floor.
Marks is a fukking clown. If he was black he’s be looked at as one of the worst NBA GM’s of all time.

I don’t even know how to feel. Last time we bottomed out we ended up with the third pick. What’s obvious is Marks wanted no part of a long term rebuild and is trying to position the team to grab another disgruntled star. The problem is stars don’t reach free agency anymore like they did in 2019.

Considering how good Jordi has looked I can see
Marks believing he can recreate that same magic

Brooklyn is gonna have maybe 4 picks in the first round. Flagg or no Flagg they’re looking at a major influx of talent. I do trust that Marks can identify talent, but then getting your picks back was pointless. Houston still owes a pick for Westbrook, but they didn’t try to get their selections back. They just made picks wherever they could (and now they have a real good team).

I’ll give them this: young guys play hard for Jordi and they got the next Atkinson. Just don’t let the next stars run him outta BK.

:mjlol:

I said months ago this team is too talented to tank properly and they would sneak into the play-in.

Plus Jordi is basically Kenny Atkinson lite.

Front office clearly wants to tank

But Jordi and the players are the ones in control of the game. They clearly don’t want to tank.

Feels like a 90s sports movie script:heh:

As a fan , we control nothing, just enjoy the ride and let the pin balls fall where they may :dame:
:hubie:

I’m not sure Tsai does though, Marks definitely tried to tank. But I think Tsai wasn’t fully on board with a full re-rebuild

Tsai LOVES this.

Remember what Tsai said when Kyrie got moved, that he was gonna be just fine rooting for a 40 win team that played hard compared to the big three squad he had? He was serious.
