    It’s because most people don’t have a clue how any of this really works

    I'm going to ruffle some good posters feathers right now ,specifically d-rock,..but, I am completely torn on Aaron Gordon


    I feel it will help our franchise to trade for him in the future the problem is it will mess up the tank by adding Gordon and wood at the same time

    Point being we are on track now to get Cade or kuminga, is getting Aaron Gordon worth losing cade or kuminga worth losing our draft pick? No

    Torn

    this has been a wash and a waste of a season I'd hate to think in the summer that the only thing we got out of it was freaking Aaron Gordon and not a draft pick


    Trade for Aaron Gordon in the summer and I'm all for it

    He’s not a formula for winning basketball

    Lost 17 in a row and still not the worst team in the league - smh.

    there is actually no point to trying to make a playoff push - keep the same approach and try to win knowing you’re “just not good enough” as the great bearded prophet once said.

    Not being on the tank train when you have no chance at the playoffs, a legit shot at a top 4 pick, and badly need a franchise player for a rebuild is highly illogical.

    it doesn’t mean u root for the team to lose. I never root for us to lose. It does mean sitting/ trading your vets and playing your developmental prospects.

    It’s about giving your team a chance for better days ahead.

    I really like what I see from Kenyon Martin Junior, Tate and Kevin Porter Junior has been shockingly good to me...

    Throw in Wood and Hopefully Cade - and all of a sudden We could have an identity!

    Trade for AG and sit him, gotta make sure he is 100%.

    Or put him on 15 minutes restriction. Same with Wood.

    Not winning anything that way.

    I keep the tank rolling unless we can get herro for dipo now. Herro isn’t going to move the needle too much this season but has the upside.

    I like Gordon but I’m not risking 4 pick for him. I think we’ve got a golden opportunity to build quickly through the draft by sinking to the bottom faster than a lot of us thought we would.

    I was all for competing and making the playoffs but if we do something stupid like trading for a “foundational player” right now and start winning games I’m gonna be upset

    We have a fresh start to build and if we focus on trying to trade for some 25yr old that couldn’t do **** with their last team then I might have to become a bobcats fan
