honestly I would not be upset if we tanked the rest of the season and tried to wind up in the lottery. This team desperately needs a superstar. 


Although that makes sense I don't know how a team this talented can tank. They won't purposefully lose. We will continue to finish the season with extremely disappointing and lazy losses while sprinkling in great wins against decent (not great) teams. Our roster is built for mediocrity this year.

agreed and that's kind of the problem- we've doomed ourself. 

Fans in Charlotte would hate it but damn I wish we had Sam Hinkie.

At this point the only way we could tank would be completely blowing up the team. I'm talking apocalypse style renovation of the roster. Kemba, Batum, Zeller, MKG, basically anybody with a contract that goes past this year needs to be shipped off for picks/young talent. And as much as we currently suck I don't think that is a feasible solution. Maybe if we could just ship off Batum for a talented young player (Okafor from the 76ers maybe?). We would still suck but we would have more cap room to reboot this offseason and a young piece to pair with Kemba.

Yeah because being in the lottery has helped us in the past. It doesn't matter where we pick when we have a gm that doesn't even know anything about the sport of hoop ball

      Exclusive First Image Of Nicolas Cage As Football Icon John Madden & Christian Bale As Raiders Owner Al Davis In Amazon MGM’s ‘Madden’

      Nicolas Cage is certainly fun to watch in "Nicolas Cage" roles (Face Off, The Rock, 8MM). Parts generally need to suit his particular persona or things can wind up looking kind of silly ('Not the bees! NOT THE BEEEES!!!") Having him play an actual historical figure... eeehhh, just seems like a bad idea, similar to having Dwayne Johnson star in a biopic about Martin Luther King 😕

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Dude, I’m sorry but I don’t get your worries about this magical culture and fan involvement. We’ve sucked balls since 2018 because we actually did what you want to do. Limp along and try to win as many games as possible without actually being good. All that does is cause the same problems you didn’t want to gamble on happening. Well, they did what you wanted and what did we get for it? 7 drafts and Young, Horn and Brown, not exactly a SB winning core. We haven’t won more than 7 games since 2017 and you are worried about risking our culture, etc.? That’s silly. Cam and Luke have been gone for 5+ years now. We finally had a draft in 2025 where we actually had our full allotment of picks. We absolutely screwed up by not going full rebuild. Texans did in the same window and they’ve been to the playoffs multiple times and have a much better team. Any fan issues now in Houston even with the Watson massage debacle? I will separate this statement because I get annoyed at back seat driving type comments. Many of us like minded draft followers and GM and wannabes said that we should have tanked in 2022 and traded every guy where teams offered quality picks. You might not like it, but we were 100% correct. Sure, Fitterer might have pissed them away but the Rams 2024/2025 1sts would have been Morgan’s picks. You also have to rebuild through the draft, period, which is why bad teams try build up picks, not trade them all away or don’t take hauls when available. There’s not one team that rebuilt through FA and was successful. It doesn’t exist because the key guys (Eagles OL/DL, Hurts, Mahomes, Kelce, Chris Jones) on Super Bowl teams (Kuechly, TD, Cam) are drafted. I grew up in CT and I went to Pats games when people handed you stacks of free tickets in the parking lot because no one wanted to go to their games. One QB and a bunch of solid OL/D picks and they were a different franchise. We can only hope that Canales is the right coach and that 2025 is the start of drafting well. If I’m being objective, we’ve still got a ways to go.
