I think we gotta put "winning" (as in winning it all/finals territory) on the back burner for the immediate future. This is a lottery team,...

[inthepaint]

I wanna win this one. The one important game that we lose for the tank is the Chicago one coming up. We gotta rest everyone for that one....

[inthepaint]

Yeah both Gasol and Drummond are thoroughly washed, it's just that Drummond is even more so. Playoff time what they'll do when it matters is play AD at...

[inthepaint]

UFA in 2023. Let's time all our new contracts to expire before then and not sign anyone past that so we can save cap space for him. Wait...I think I've...

[inthepaint]

The pick is key but is not going to put the team back to the top tier of the East in one season, we took more than one step back since the title. I'm...

[inthepaint]

Well, I hope they lose to the Chicago, that's the head-to-head "opponent" here. If we lose that one we'll likely have sole control of the 7th...

Yuta is good on his role, he's an energetic defender, covers a lot of ground, handles the ball well for a big, and is shooting over 40% from 3 this year....

[inthepaint]

That's how I feel too. You don't waste assets on a C (let alone let your best player walk for nothing so you can create cap space for one), unless it's...

[inthepaint]

he said "not named OG"...

[inthepaint]

Well, we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. Nunn and Robinson are above average 3pt shooting wings that have just been to the nba finals....

[inthepaint]

Meh. Holmes is alright but he's the oldest of these 4, and doesn't space the floor. That's not a modern nba starting C (unless you're in DPOY territory...

[inthepaint]

Imo you go for the best aggregate return (talent) for Lowry, even if it doesn't involve a C. These guys are maybe no longer on the table, but Maxey, Thybulle,...

[inthepaint]

Hard to figure out the bulls man.
1. You made win-now moves at the deadline (got vucevic)
2. You no longer have a pick, so no incentive to...

[inthepaint]

Out of the 10 games left, 7 are vs teams over .500. Six on the road including a Utah-Lakers back to back (both on the road). That's the 3rd toughest remaining...

[inthepaint]

Nah we were too picky at deadline, so Miami will just sign him outright. Then we'll convince ourselves that was good for us so we can have....
...

[inthepaint]

To me personally, it's a quick pivot this season. Rest guys more often for these final dozen games, draft in the lottery, SnT Lowry. Then come back stronger...

[inthepaint]

The reality is this:

1. For better or worse, we swung and missed for Giannis. The decision to save cap space for him affected our opportunity...

[inthepaint]

Yeah Lowry's potential return is now largely unknown. He was the most coveted player at the deadline, which tells me the offers were good (though not...

[inthepaint]

The Lowry trade doesn't need to be directly with Indiana though. SnT Lowry to a contender he's happy with, then use the incoming assets (plus assets we...

[inthepaint]

The higher odds are a 7th-10th pick like you say, but we're also currently at a ~23% chance to pick in the top 4. That number has been hovering around...
