[MikelArteta]

we better lose tonight , we are 3 games behind the final play in spot with 8 games left to go
Just start playing the bench and we will end up with the 6th worst record in the nba with a good chance of top 5 pick

And with the draft rules changed, the top 5 have the same chance at 1, 33%?

And with the draft rules changed, the top 5 have the same chance at 1, 33%?

• The teams with the three worst records have the same odds for both the No. 1 pick (14%) and staying in the top four (52%).
  
  
• The team with the worst record has a 47.9% chance to fall to No. 5.
  
  
• Teams in slots 9 through 6 have a 20-37% chance of jumping into the top five. Previously, that range was 6-22%.
  

right now only 6 teams have a better record.

we might be stuck at this spot, I don't see the teams below us winning anymore games.

We should have made a more concerted effort to lose around jan-feb

depends on our draft position to me, say we can get a jalen green, jalen suggs, cade cunningham no need for trent

disagree

 

[MikelArteta]

disagree

why would you want to pay 17-20 mill plus for a backup?

if you can get a suggs/cunningham/green thats your 2 guard to pair with van vleet. Then there is no need to spend that money on trent

Dont underestimate the value of sixth men

and a suggs / fvv back court is trash

Do you really want siakam at the 3 btw?

that will be og anunoby

Breh you don't neeed to pay a 6th man that much money. Look how much montrezl harrell, lou williams, eric paschall, boucher, terrence ross, shake milton, jordan clarkson are making


The only way I'd resign trent if we get a suggs, cunningham is if we are then trading van vleet

the money trent wants is starter money

You know they going to resign him

if they could trade fvv to keep trent and draft cade/suggs they probably should to be honest

but if there choosing that high they will grab Mobley

well yeah if they get mobley then resign trent

[MikelArteta]

Why?

 

[Tom Foolery]

Lakers/LeBron should have pulled the trigger for Lowry.

Told them they'd regret it.
