Do you think the rockets made a mistake tanking for hakeem? Would they have been better off battling for the 8th seed sampsons rookie season?
absolutely, chances are EVEN if we get super lucky and get another top 2 pick, that player won't be a superstar. However, the chance isn't zero,...
the issue for the pro tankers like myself is that picking 9 isn't possible, you are 100% guaranteed a top 5 pick if you have a bottom 3 record,...
What makes you think that a player who has been identical every season (and by some metrics gets worse every season) has room to grow? Depending...
Actually if you have a bottom 3 record you are 100% guaranteed to have a top 5 pick….
The equivalent to what they did would be benching kpj and bringing in a bunch of d league guys, or playing someone like house 44 minutes and...
I 100% don’t think that core can win a title no, unless green turns into an mvp level guy. A no defense big, a no offense wing/big, and who knows...
Sigh. We have our own pick this season. That pick (assuming we suck) will be top 5. With simmons, we’ll likely be around 30ish wins which takes us...
It doesn’t matter if i’m high or low on them, i just want more shots at getting player with superstar upside instead of giving up now to chase the...
To get more bites at the apple! Chances are 0-1 of those young guys will be real championship level stars or even starters. Locking is now is just...
Minni isn’t trying to win a title, that’s the difference
He’s not a reclamation project because he’s already very good. I know everyone trashes him but he’s an excellent player. He would help ruin our...
It just blows me away that people want to trade picks to try to chase the playin game. Absolutely mind blowing
The warriors were doing stuff like having their 12th man play 40 minutes, having guys who couldn’t shoot take 10+ 3s, stuff like that. I despise...
The rockets to get hakeem actually did throw games. The warriors also did it for steph and klay, internationally throwing games for better draft...
i mean the warriors won a few titles doing it, the rockets won a few, the spurs won a ton, are you just ignoring all the teams who succeeded by...
but before OKC took those steps, they tanked to get the harden, russ, kd part of it.....
It’s also the 83/84 rockets way of thinking, the warriors way of thinking, the 97 spurs way of thinking, etc.
I really wish people stopped using philly as an example of “tanking doesn’t work” because you 1. Can’t ignore silver annihilating the franchise by...
it will almost certainly be a bad thing if he's traded, either a loss of picks or someone coming in to ruin this years pick
