A Better DJ & Photographer 456 Report post Posted March 21, 2018 Just now, ?4thewin said: Having Gordon and isaac develop together is worth more than a draft slot Totally disagree with you at this point of the season. Having Gordon and Isaac get Ayton, Doncic, or JJJ to develop with is far more valuable than what they will get in the next 12 games if they win us all the way to the 7-9th pick. They have the whole off season to gel together, plus camp, and hopefully many seasons together. With 12 games to go it makes zero sense to win a single game with as strong as the top of this draft is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But we have our only two true core players playing extensive minutes together for the first time and are beating the top team in the east. This should make you happy too. We aren’t gonna draft top 2, and 3-7 are very similar in caliber of prospect. Not to mention we still might lose 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't say anything about sitting a rising star. We need to play him and Isaac as much as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You sit Gordon for no good reason the last 20 games of a contract year and you're gonna have REAL problems if you low ball him in the off-season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
