    This dumb thought did not deserve its own thread. Stop polluting the board with this nonsense.

    Sorry bud, not dumb if you used your brain to know we would get to keep a top 5 pick and we decided we’re not going for the playoffs at this point by keeping Jock.

    Bro this team is not anywhere close to obtaining a top 5 pick.

    You can't tank if there's nothing to tank for.

    Sit down.

    We never were “going for the playoffs” this year. You just tricked yourself into thinking it was a goal.

    So to be clear, the team's goal should be to be one of the five worst teams in the league year after year after year, and then one year just be awesome again with no build up at all?

    Yes, that's totally how sports work.

    we're gonna end up in the lottery anyways, except this time we're giving our pick to OKC because we're not bad enough to be bottom 3.

    Aren't we all going to be 50 or 60 at some point?

    Especially after decades of no title.

    All the Tate hate should stop

    man has done nothing but sacrifice his body and play hard for a **** team for years .

    stones best attribute has been getting lucky . Maybe he gets lucky again and we land in the top 4 this year from the 8-10 spot .

    remember , the jalen green year we either landed in the top 4 or gave away our pick . Stone gambled and won .

    we are mediocre. Imo he has the first half of next season to make us look like a surefire playoff team . If not , I’d fire without hesitation.

    Going to be a thing of beauty watching the 347239487 bricked wide open 3s the team generates the remainder of the season.

    Truly outstanding stuff Stone.
