Let me play devil's advocate

Most of you know that I'm 100% against tanking, but I've been thinking about Detriot's pick. Say we win both games against them, I think we should make a trade for a deep playoff run. Say we lose both I think we should keep our players and our picks and hope to get the Pistons pick.

 

I don't want to full blown tank, but maybe just low enough to keep our pick..

How say you?

Pretty much this. Pick a route and stick to it, if you want to be the 8th seed in the Playoffs, trade your assets away and actually go for it. Want to suck, then actually be really bad. None of this in the middle of the road garbage because the team's FO can't decide as a group what they want to do.

That's exactly what I'm saying, we need to stop the middle of the road play style. Win both, make a playoff push. Lose both, tank.

We just need to get in the lottery though it would take a miracle to win it.

 

 

Do you think it would be worth it to trade a few players (like Hendo and McRoberts or so forth) To make sure the team gets into the lottery? Maybe even pick up an additional pick from a team looking for playoff help.

It doesnt matter if we win or lose vs. the next two Detroit games. We still stand a good chance of getting that pick whether we make the Playoffs or not. Detroit is in the same position we are. They cant figure if they want to tank or not.

 

Imo, if we dont make a bold move before the deadline then we better start thinking about "tanking" the season. We'd be fug going into the playoffs with the roster we have atm. This is a team that will get sweep 4 games by the Pacers or Heat.

 

If Cho and MJ believe that they want to make the playoffs, they better bring in one or two more pieces.

Personally I do but I know a  lot of people won't agree with it, all I know is if we do make the playoffs we better be pretty sure we can reach the sixth seed.

      Damning indictment of Bryce Young

      Dalton is 1-5 as a starter. I wouldn't hold my breath.

      what does bryce young excel at

      That last thing is a bad trend. It has happened in three different seasons now. If it isn’t a trend, is it a tendency? Words…. What I mean is following a successful outing (and they are rare or scarce) with a stretch of bad outings.  The slow starts individually are slow starts. Looked at as continuations of the string that started game 1 2023, there is a pattern that may or may not be predictive.  The first game people said that he turned a corner, Green Bay 2023, was followed by those two shutouts to end the season.  Then continued with the two horrific outings that had AT throwing his helmet and Canales benching him. That’s 4 straight after 1 good.  The next one I would give him high credit for is the Atlanta game. One of his two best IMO.  He followed that with this year’s opening stinkers putting the team in a big hole.  It is so up, then back down.  His other best game was vs Dallas this year, I think the best he has played start to finish, he followed with an uninspiring performance against the Jets. I was half waiting on him to give that one away more than go win it, which was just a feeling, but then he got hurt. And here we are.  Just waiting for him to prove something if he can. He is going to have his shot the second half of the year. So we will see.

      Before the Penix pick six, the panthers had run 8 plays for seven yards while up 10-0. That includes a 5 play, 13 yard drive out of halftime where Bryce threw incomplete on third down. In that exactly what canales wanted?
