I don't know, being a losing squad over the years didn't stop them from being competitive this year. They are well coached and had young talent which is why they were winning, they just lost a big piece of that talent equation and it could have long lasting effects on his career.

The only positive for them is that they have Giannis and his development can soften the blow of Jabari getting hurt.
new coach, new franchise player, new ownership, new lease on life (literally). Why go back in the dumpster to wind up with Willie Cauley-Stein? If they're gonna wind up with a bum at least go down trying.

check how everyone in the front cover except Wiggins has been hurt. Everyone on the other side except for Elfrid "Young Roddy" Payton has been trash.


That rookie/sophomore game is gonna be part two of that Wolves scrimmage from preseason :sadcam:
Thank God K.J McDaniels wasn't on that cover and Nerlens already had his injury :wow:

That's such a ridiculous myth. Hell Durant and Westbrook were on a completely garbage team and grew to learn to win without bringing in many people.

Kevin Durant is Kevin Durant. On top of that, what they were doing wasn't tanking and their circumstances were completely different than anything we've seen in recent memory. The Thunder might as well have been an expansion team.

Their franchise player is Giannis, he was on that 15-67 squad last year and losing all those games hasn't hurt his development or his drive :yeshrug:

Why go back to the dumpster? Mainly because they're not going to get anyone in free agency and now 1b. of their franchise foundation blew a tire, they should do their best to fill that 2 guard spot with a talented player like Johnson or Winslow.

You ain't gotta tell me twice on that. I blame Flip for not holding both to the same standards. That's the problem. Wiggins and Bazz are not being judged the same. It's not Wiggins' fault per se, Flip needs to not play favorites.

What is it with you and this Shabazz fantasy you're having? :why:

Every time Wiggins is brought up, you gone chirping about this nikka.

That you Shabazz?

I think Middleton will step in and give them some nice games, especially since you all seem to be using Giannis as a PF now.

That said, just mailing it in and getting Okafor, Towns, Winslow or Johnson would dampen the blow this could have on Jabari's potential.



Too late, too many bad teams way ahead of them

Nah. Let them keep competing. They don't learn shyt by going back to losing. Even if they don't get in, remaining competitive will do so much more for them than tanking.

Yep. Players don't suddenly learn to win by adding another lottery pick to the team. At some point you need to learn how to compete and dig deep.

Nah. I stated facts. I don't know what fantasies you're talking about.

If rewarding the youngins busting their ass during a "rebuild year" is "fantasy" then doesn't that say it all about the entire process?

Face it breh, he's nothing but a future trade asset.

It's Wiggins and Lavine for the next 10 years, that is all.
