I do find it odd when people talk about us needing to tank- what exactly could we do differently to perform even worse than we are right now?

Are you serious? They can do what Spurs and Celtics did - Sit their star player with injuries.

I think I'm half joking, half serious- the worrying thing is that we've won 1 of the last 10 games, most of which with our stars playing! It's getting to the point where I honestly don't think we could play worse if we tried!

Our D have improved, but we are still prone to having scrubs put up career numbers. I don't know why. What I do know is that I don't feel confident in us winning tonite. That is truly sad. But its also kind of cool because it means that basketball has room for bad teams beating really good bunch of players that happen to be on the same roster, but don't play as a team.

Whether they will target players in the CBA/Europe, someone by trade(especially for DH/Turk), give in to Orlando for Bynum/Gasol for Dwight/Turk, and then use the exemption to fill out the rest of the roster....

Dwight
Ryan Anderson
Wilson Chandler
Kobe
Fisher

McRoberts
Turkeglu
Kapono
Barnes
Blake

Murphy
Artest
Goudelucke
Walton

Morris
Ebanks

I am well aware that there's no way we tank, especially with Baron coming. I just made this post because a lot of other posters claimed we have a chance to get a top 5 pick. I don't think there's a chance in hell for that, personally.

But you said you want a top 5 pick bad, so I just thought I'd save you from the disappointment In order to get top 5 some serious tanking is in order and I thought it might be funny to compare us to some of the teams who have done it successfully and went on to win a championship or a few. The thought of tanking in itself is not silly, but even the hope of such for this dysfunctional franchise might be.

Of course I want a top 5 pick bad. I want good players on this team. I just also think it's one in a million. Others don't seem to think so. I wont name names, but if you look in other threads, people seem to think getting a top 5 pick is a foregone conclusion, which is why I made this post in the first place. There's no way we will suck bad enough to be in that area, and this organization is too dumb to consider tanking, with the way things are going.
