    Well if you tank hard enough maybe Tilman runs out of money and sells the team. Then you can sign free agents and trade for stars again. They'll just leave if he owns the team.

    Did I say it excites me? The Rockets best hope of acquiring a franchise player they can build around for years to come is through the draft, it is what it is.

    Boston’s issue is that Ainge has refused to make a serious trade offer for the superstars that have been available to put next to their drafted star in Tatum

    Sacramento and Minnesota are 2 of the worst organizations in the league. People love to bring them up as if they wouldn’t be garbage no matter what strategy they tried.

    Stone & Silas giving all the vets quality minutes to up their value for the deadline

    They won’t play Jones and sent Porter & KMJ to the g league to hide them and teams don’t demand any of them in trades

    His rotations are a big reason why we lose.

    Wood/Nwaba/Tate lineups have a net rating of +47.2. That trio ranks 2nd best in the entire NBA only behind the celtics' trio of Tatum/Brown/Teague. Our trio should be playing at least 25-30 minutes per game together, instead they only average playing 5 minutes per game together. THAT IS BEYOND DUMB! That is on the coach.

    Sit Tucker on the damn bench and start Tate and Nwaba at the wings. They play great together especially when Wood gets back.

    Also, Nwaba/Brown/Tate trio ranks #13 in the entire NBA with a net rating of +35. Silas barely plays that trio together more than 7 minutes per game. STUPIDITY. Again...know your damn lineups.

    Wood and Nwaba have been out for most of the last 2 weeks, how can he play all of them?

    And how large is that sample size?

    I can't front... Some of those lineups be like WTF. A big part of that is because all of our best players are injury prone. We need to go get a star that will be available night in and night out. We would have a better record right now if everybody was able to play every game. Boys need to go talk with Tom Brady about how to stay healthy physically.

    It remains to be seen if we are a garbage organization or not. We could very well be a Sacramento under Tilman, the previous organization no longer exists, everyone left already.

    if that ends up being the case, then it doesn’t matter what route we take, we’re fcked regardless

    organizations like the Kings haven’t spent years trying to tank, their incompetence just leads them to being a bottom tier team year after year

    This is my thought for sure. It's kind of painful to see people on here being mean to one another saying how unlikely tanking is to succeed, or how unlikely rebuilding without tanking is to succeed, when the reality is succeeding either way will require an enormous amount of both luck and skill. I'm pretty nihilistic about it. We lucked into having a competitive team due to Harden being available and being ahead of the pack regarding the analytics movement. I'll be amazed if we're ahead of the pack on anything under this owner.

    See? No Tucker or Nwaba in final minutes and we played much better.

    Silas' main jobs are to finish with a bottom 3 worst record AND to showcase vets we need to get a return on

    I actually think he is doing a decent job.

    I could do that for half his salary.
    Anyone have the front office's number?

    What's the use in draft picks if you don't develop the players?
