We’ve been bad, but with the softest sked in the league from here on out can we really finish THAT bad? It’s looking like we’ll be a Play-In team at worst

FO’s job isn’t going to get any easier when it comes to picking a direction (retooling vs. rebuilding vs. staying the course for the rest of the season)

****It’s looking that we’ll be bounce in the 1st round / play-in and be a treadmill team for the years to come.

Im assuming you’re saying play-in at worst because being in the lottery this is year is not a bad thing
CazOnReddit
Oh boy, I can’t wait for the “we’re too good to be tanking” takes to go away if and when we drop a game to the Hornets (which we did last year in a blowout loss when we were better)
Easy schedule means nothing we have a 10-game road trip and we’re one of the worst road teams this season.

We absolutely need to trade Fred and Gary soon instead of piling up meaningless wins then. We need to ensure we’re in that Top 5 in lotto odds.
Ok_Respond7928
Ok why do we want that why not ether go in on the tank and get a top pick or make some moves. What’s the point of making the play-in to ether lose or just get bounced in the first round
yourdadsatonmyface
Yay let’s win the play in, re-sign fvv to 5/180, get swept, and then follow a new team.
IamSofakingRAW
I’d rather Cam Whitmore, Ausar Thompson or Nick Smith than another first round exit

Ending with two games at Celtics and then a game vs Bucks is gonna be nerve racking I just know it

This is actually more beneficial if you’re tanking. You get to let teams below you beat you
chrisPjelly
This team will be evaluated based on their performance against playoff/play-in bound teams, not pitiful tanking teams. The team already failed at that, so chances are that the place of every veteran role player on our current roster for the future are over. If the FO decides to leave the main core as is (Siakam, OG, Scottie, AND Fred), it’ll be because of values beyond the game alone, as stupidly sentimental as it sounds (off court tangibles, culture, yadda yadda). Regardless, I’m already 100 percent sure they’ll tank, and if it’s not to blow it up/ heavily retool it’ll be a minutes restriction ala Tampa (but that’s probably contingent on if Siakam is okay with taking a step back, which maybe he is idk).

So in essence a mediocre team. No mans land. The position masai said he’d never put us in.
BrandonWademan
Cool, but do we not have a recent history of letting bad teams kick our asses when they shouldn’t?
Ylissian
This is why some trades need to be made if we want to tank. Look at all the fake comebacks. The players on this team care too much to lose reliably to bad teams.
ResponsibleShampoo
They definitely inflated their opponent winning percentage!

We are one of those bad teams and have lost to some of the worst/most depleted teams in the league and looked terrible doing it. Think we’re rating ourselves too highly still lol.

Nurse, just tank. Develop young guys – give them minutes! Start Malachi – let him learn to run a team coz FVV is likely done. Let your ego step aside and do what’s good for the future of the team.

Play in for what? Another first round exit? We are not beating ANY top 5 team in the east in 7 this year. Its just not a realistic expectation given our bench situation.
Scase15
I can’t wait for all these empty wins and a 10-15th overall pick and more mediocrity.
sakshamgupta789
Idk if this is a good thing, I can really see us getting our shit together to beat bad teams getting a close to or above 500 record only to be bounced in the first round again. I’d rather tank for scoot
MegaBotz6
We need to

Yet we’ll still somehow lose majority of the matches💀💀💀

MadVillain1
Yay! Another bs middling season, there’s no upside to winning for the front office and the fanbase. Can’t wait to make the play in just to get dusted or even worse, barely miss out on the play in then have shit lottery odds.
OG_anunoby3
No… no… no… do the right thing. Tank. Look at the big picture. This team is not going far in the playoffs. Build for future and it starts with a top pick this draft. The goal should be Championship, not just make the playoffs.
