Oh, I don't think they will be trying to tank. I think they will just suck once Harden quits trying after it's obvious that Nephew is gonna be a no-show.
They can't tank bc of the new arena that needs to be filled.

Kid’s size and wingspan are legit. Wingspan looks over 7’0. Definitely one of the major reasons why he’s such a great defender.
Utah ownership and front office gotta be salivating over this guy.
They can EABOD. Lakers were the golden child of the NBA for much of Kobe's time -- see that Jerry West reach around as Memphis GM to send them Pau for next to nothing but his brother). And then they have all the advantages of being born on 3rd base. Spurs do it through the draft like blue collar folk.Cavs had #1 and #4 in 2011, pick Kyrie ant Tristan.
Rockets had #1 and #3 in 1983, picked Sampson and McCray.
Bucks had #1 and #3 in 1977, picked Kent Benson and Marques Johnson.
Hawks had #1 and #3 in 1975, picked David Thompson and Marvin Webster.
#1 and #2 never happened.
If we get another top4 pick, there will be a mass outrage around the league.
that Filipowski - Flagg - Kessler - Markannen lineup though
Interesting part of these is it shows that the draft has always been crapshoot.
Benson was a case of big men always being over valued even in a day that they where more useful. Marques Johnson was damn good.
The Hawks 1 and 3 was one of the biggest whiffs ever- Marvin Webster was a very good defensive center whose career was cut short due to health issues. Neither Webster nor Thompson ever played for Atlanta- both signed with the ABA.
Cavs passed on Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard Jimmy Butler, Jimmer Fredette- but then again so did a lot of other teams.
McCray was a solid pro- Houston got 1 and 3 then the next year got 1 again-in 83 and 84 and didn't win a le until mid 90s
Several players and trainers live in my complex. It's a pretty choice place.
Edit: Forgot to say it's right next to East Campus.
Maybe they can get Adam Caruso.
Dude is gonna look amazing next to Wemby in 2025. Back to back #1 picks for Atlanta and he is ours. I’m tired of Wemby playing with scrubs
But let’s trade for Markennen!
Why not both?
I would rather have two chances then one chance
I want to get pick one just to watch Danny Ainge drool, and then trade back a spot or two, flipping Flagg to someone else. Cry, Danny, cry.
Still just 17 years old. Kid's a lock to go #1.
Bottom 3 teams (best odds to get no.1 pick) now: Wiz, Jazz, Pelicans
Would be such a dream to pair him with Wemby. We'd be a dynasty for a decade and a half
He’s shooting 23.3% from beyond the arc. His FT% s 69.6, so not a strong shooting signal.
I swear, the Venn diagram of posters complaining that we have too many non-shooters and those fanboying Flagg is a circle.
What do you think of Asa Newell? Tankathon has him around 14th pick where Spurs could likely pick. Or Johnni Broome older at 23 yrs old but with more complete game including step-back 3’s
Boyles is intriguing and Pop could possibly fall in love with his Rodman-type defense, but another 6’7 PF??

Would be hilarious to see Washington get the #1 pick so that Sarr moves to center.
everything we hope sochan can one day be, dialed up to 11
He'd be a pretty perfect fit in Charlotte backing up my man Saluan tbh.
I hope Jazz get him just so the rest of the league can be outraged about Mormons getting the best white prospect in decades.
Pels should try to get salvage value for Zion, get what they can for BI, and limit DJM for the rest of the year (he's back and DTD at this point).
If Utah gets the #1 pick, I have a suggestion for some other deadline deals for them:I hope Jazz get him just so the rest of the league can be outraged about Mormons getting the best white prospect in decades.
Send some SRPs to CHA for Micic
More SRPs to BOS for Prichard
Keyonte George to GSW for Podz
Sexton and John Collins to MIA for Herro
Whatever it takes for Grayson Allen
A gift card to Whataburger for Zach Collins
Micic/Pritchard
Herro/Podz
Lauri/Allen
Flagg/Flip
Kessler/Collins
Then the boomer who started the thread about how the NBA sucks now will have a new favorite team to follow
