we can't get the 6 seed. best case even with Kemba is the 7. 8 seed is a possibility but highly unlikely. it makes complete sense to tank bc even making the 8 really isn't worth it. better draft pick is more important than getting swept by Atlanta
having said all that, i hope we keep pushing for the 8 seed. it makes no sense from a bball sense but this franchise needs a playoff win and we need to keep riding the momentum from the hornets comeback to a playoff appearance.
after this complete reboot of the franchise, it would be an awful look to just tank. lose a lot of goodwill that the name change brought
this probably makes no sense to most around the league, but if you're from this city/grew up with the hornets, it makes 100% sense
