    Win or lose he won't go out as a wimp. Solid game from Young

    I am resigned to accept that we will not tank and it IS a deep draft, so whoever we get pick 1-9 or we trade the pick for 2 in the teens should be somebody that will help our team. I'm even more excited about the idea of trading Vuc and playing a whole season with defense at the center position and see how we do with that for a change.

    Just have to have the right circumstances (most always means injuries adn team in rebuild) and strategy (i.e. trades at all trade deadline). Philly has done it in the past and Memphis (even New York) is doing it this year. Just read Nowitski's comments on tanking who said Dallas will play hard but said certain teams ARE tanking. Players know! We easily could tank over the last 14 games but I do not think we will. That would be 1-6 and 1-6. Due to our injuries we qualify for right circumstances this year (unlike previous years) but we don't have the strategy. You have to believe it is the right way and commit to tank and I think we lack that belief/commitment, right or wrong as that may be!

    I'm going to fully sell myself on any player we take in the top 10, I can't continue to worry about this draft...

    anything that would suggest common sense logic is not something I would bank on Phoenix doing. they took Bender and Chriss in the same lottery, they're both 4s and they traded for Elfrid Payton

    We would have had to lose the final 26 games in 2015 to get porzingis and the final 20 games in 2014 to get embiid. That's not realistic. Your narrative that we went on a late season run that killed our chances never actually happened.

    Purvis played well. Bot sure why he disnt play more. Happy to see Birch playing great defense on the greek freak vuc with the almost triple double!! Jajajaj

    Correct. If we had been worse for the first 3-4 years after Dwight left we would be much better off than we are now. That’s my exact argument

    Everyone that should be playing is playing. It doesn't make sense to play Purvis big minutes and go down by 40. We need Isaac to get legitimate minutes. Time in blowouts doesn't teach you anything.

    Jordan played in an era when the east was actually good. His first title came through young ewing, Barkley, and tail end of his prime magic Johnson. The second title came through a really good Knicks team, a mark price Larry nance Cavs team, and a drexler blazers team. Third title came through a Dominique Wilkins, Willis, Blaylock hawks team, the Knicks, the Cavs, and Barkley phoenix team. Fourth was mourning heat, prime ewing, the Shaq penny magic, and the kemp Payton Sonics Fifth title went through the Howard Webber Strickland wizards, the heat, the hawks, and Malone Stockton Thats not nothing

    I like the prospects at 1 & 2 better than 4 or 7 :D

    IMO Vogel is responsible for us not extending Mario. I'm sure Welty consulted with Vogel before making a decision on extending or not. Not giving minutes to rookies keeps them from developing and keeps us from seeing what we actually have to work with. Mario may well be the best player on our team but many of us thought he sucked because he couldn't earn any minutes. Then Vuc comes back from injury and Birch immediately gets bumped from any meaningful playing time when he was starting to look pretty good out there.I want to see what a DJ-Mario-Isaac-AG-Birch lineup can do if given some real minutes. Mack-Simmons-Fournier-Isaac or AG-Vuc or Biz is a heck of a bench! we could even play each squad 1/2 game.

    Yeah and there are also some very good ones available with later picks that nobody has been focusing on because we all want a top pick. Check out Shake Milton for example.

    Maybe Mario won't want to live in a high taxed state with lots of problems.

    I'm sure that you don't want to see him develop THIS SEASON if it means losing out on one of the top guys in the draft, right? We need Vuc the matador playing as many minutes as possible so that we can discreetly tank.

    Which is why for the rest of this season we need to play him as much as we can. If we ever get some separation then we can play the others more. Right now we are tied for 3rd worse, let's not rock the boat!

    I have a feeling one of those meaningless wins that messes up our draft is coming tonight.

    I guess we really don't want one of the better draft picks.

    +1 from me. Saw the same thing. Amazing with Vuch. He can actually play defense some when he consciously makes an effort, but it’s not common. How can a professional player not give his all so often?

    You guys can keep arguing about how we can make our team worse, hoping against hope to repeat history by drafting another Shaq and rooting for the team to lose every game. I’d rather focus on making our team better.
