Last two seasons we’ve tanked and ended up with JJ and now the #1 pick. Seems the tank seemed to work out for us and the sixers. Sorry the ride was too rough for some of you.

I was never opposed to losing. What I was opposed to was the constant complaining on this board whenever something positive happened. I had no issue when the young guys would (rarely) play well and sneak out a win. But around here it was the end of the world if they showed any sort of development.

I'm thrilled they got the #1 pick. But I hope we're not back here again next season.

I don’t think a single person on this board is saying a single thing you said.
Well, buckethead, apparently you wantedto gloat over it by riffing on Shaq's rap line, Hey Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes."

Buckethead...that's from Primus. Look it up.

We must really like Zion. We appear to be tanking again. We finally play a weak East team and promptly sit our top two scorers.

Let’s just call this a natural tank. Booker probably should have sat more than he has this year based on how his hamstring seemed to be bothering him.

The new lottery system won’t prevent teams from tanking at the end of the season, especially if they’re on the bottom-3 bubble. But at least for me, it does seem to ward off the panick-tank psychology this early. Especially if you have your sights on a single player at #1, who now has the same odds for the bottom three (and it decreases by only 1.5% from there).

The draft will have its climbers, too.

This is pathetic.

This is like the family that stays with the abusive alcoholic father.

As long as they only lose by 1-2 points each night. Enough to say, we could have won this and you know it, but lose enough for that lottery pick in the top four!

Your Phoenix Suns, where sucking and tanking look an awful lot alike.

Dyin' for Zion, still.

As much as I like Zion or Bol Bol, I think Quentin Grimes would be the best pick for us.

I like Grimes but I think IF we go for guard, we need someone with a little more quicks than Grimes. I'm not against solving our PG problem by getting another Booker like player but one of them has to be able to guard the quicker players and Devin certainly can't.

Grimes was a disaster in the game against Stanford today and got benched. He might not even be in the 2019 draft...
