    Yes, a fan obsessed with tanking would find it hilarious to play the players who play better.

    If can, trade down with Orl for 6 and 11, take Hendricks and Wallace. Lively or Bona at 21.

    They should bump out a bit of the trash.

    Sign a couple of solid vets.

    Let Udoka do his thing.

    Um yeah, he's done a fantastic job dumb azz. Jalen Green & Jabari Smith are a great young core to build around with 60 million in cap space and Udoka running the show. However, I will grant your wish and stop responding to your incoherent rants

    1. Trade #4 for Ja Morant - pay off his friends to go away. Buy him toy guns - he won't be able to tell the difference.
    2. Trade Stone for Bob Myers
    3. Tank season since Ja will be out most of the year
    4. Retain top 4 2024 pick
    5. Draft generational talent Bronny
    6. Sign Lebron - get him blasting an unhealthy amount of steroids
    7. Sign Pat Bev to "go for a steal" against Wemby.
    8. Watch Spurs tank season and draft the next best big of the generation to play along side Wemby
    9. Unleash Senhub now that he has competition
    10. Dominate NBA winning multiple championships
    11. Boycott NBA until they recognize Sengun as a PG on the NBA all star and all nba ballot.

    It's fascinating. You would rather have a guy that has missed 84 games his first 3 seasons than a backcourt of Scoot and Green. I would rather have the latter a million out of a million times.

    KPJ is better than Green you keep the better player on the cheaper contract.

    Well you aren't as smart as I am about basketball so you should be learning....from me.....

    Trade the #4 for a unprotected 1s in the 27/28 draft in hopes of stacking the Deck for

    You want as many 1s for him

    Bona is a bit raw but this dude's athleticism is just whole another level. I dunno how he can run so fast and jump so high.

    I feel like raw athletic freak centers have been the most wasted draft picks recently. I remember when people really wanted Lucas Nogueira years back and then Kai Jones and JT Thor more recently and Koloko just last year. Then again every now and then you get a Capela or Mark Williams. These raw dudes are just complete guesses and when they're bad they're nowhere near real NBA players.

    Yeah Bona might bust he should've stayed in college for another year imo. I don't want us to waste our picks for a center.

    I'd trade down if anything, try to get a decent veteran or a combination of picks. Then take Whitmore or Walker.

    Jalen and the #4 pick are most likely two nba role players. If you think Scoot can be a star then you make that trade all the time.
