    It seems like we're not giving much burn to pursuing Bol Bol, its not looking bright.

    This dude is going to be the best prospect in over a decade. We must obtain him at all costs.

    Won’t matter if he’s a “generational” talent the nba will just rig the lottery as usual.

    If by “tank” you mean giving all our best players to the lakers for nothing in return then yes by all means…..this is the way

    Tanking is pointless when NBA keeps rigging these lotteries without any penalties. We tanked for 4 years and didn't land a single #1. Dallas gives Luka away and has a 1% chance to get the #1 pick and immediately gets a franchise changing player. Cooper Flagg should've been ours if NBA even cared about parity in the West. Now OKC is just the overwhelming favorites to win the WCF for the next 5 years.

    No need to tank, let’s just let the Suns be horrible in 28-29

    Simple, work with the NBA to trade Alpi & Amen to the Lakers for pennies on the dollar with the promise of a wink wink "lottery win" in 2030. Keep Jalen and we are guaranteed to tank. :eek:o_O;)
