Uggghhhh, I don't know what to think about this. We need to sell our veterans and tank for one of the good center prospects. However, I REALLY enjoy actually winning a little bit again, and I kind of do want this team to make the playoffs lol It's a decision between what we want and what we need lol

Screw tanking. We tanked last year.

Let's play to win.

Towns or Okafor would be nice, but there just isn't that much of a disparity in talent between pick 6 and pick 15 to convince me that losing would be in our best interest.

Considering the Eastern conference looks something like this, it could be difficult to miss the playoffs.

Did we really, though? lol It was like a half-way attempt at a tank, though I am glad we got Smart from the draft. He may not have the upside of Wiggins, but we'll never question his heart or tenacity.

If we can move up to get WCS somewhere around the 10th pick or so, I would be totally fine with making the playoffs.

8th spot! We should have kept Rondo we can not afford to be winning games. Rondo would have made sure to slow things down in the fourth. These guys don't know how to tank. Did they learn anything from Rondo late in games?

We were one game out of the playoffs and slipped in because we happened to have played one of the worst teams in modern memory. I am not worried, I still think they'll do terrible

Play to win, get in the play-offs, build chemistry, and rely on the incompetency of the Nets to get us our high future picks and next stud center.

Man the East sucks..lol. The team looks good right now (especially against a very bad team in the Wolves). I wanna see how this plays out.

This wouldn't be the first time losing rondo resulted in us rallying into the playoffs.

You are probably joking but it's a fact the team was significantly worse last year when rondo played. 6-24 with rondo leading the charge. He was crucial to our tank job.
