Y
MY PROP UNDER 44.5 WINS IS A LOCK 🔐 💰
Gotta get the best pick we possibly can, and we really need to look at trading Bam to get the assets to start a new build. Get rid of these 1 way guards, and find a new head coach.
The Spo/Bam era is not going to go anywhere.
Y. This cannot be fixed with this squad.
Should of went on a fire sale before the deadline.
Awww😂☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Definitely get a top 10 pick
No
I guess you could look at last night as a preview to what would happen in the first round if we were to advance out of the play-in. Which to me is an indication that I should prefer us to be in the lottery this season lol
Lottery 🎉🎉lets go
Tank we need a blue chip player in this draft
Y. Dailyn Swain or Yaxel or Nate Ament draft backup center in the second round
My top guys are the same as yours:
1. Philon
2. Brown
3. Burries
4. Yaxel
5 for me would be Karim Lopez.
I also like Carr and Yessoufou but they probably shouldn’t go in the lottery.
The organization has stated a million times it won’t take so what’s the point of these videos? It would be nice but it won’t happen
I want yaxel
We're not really tanking though. It's not as if we could just win whenever we want. This squad unfortunately is not a good team. They're mediocre at best. Just let them play and they'll lose even if we don't want them too. If we had traded away pieces at the trade deadline and actually started losing by just playing our young guys, then ppl can say we're tanking . We're losing because our team right now just plain sucks
I’ve never agreed more we need to lose every game til the draft no more trying with this team
Absolutely we should tank but will losing the next five games improved our draft odds
Last season to tank so of course the heat will try tanking after its too late for it to work our front office is now the reason we suck
Yes we need to tank and blow up the whole team
How to Tank Heat style; Get in a hole early down 15-20 & make it competitive from there..
