Why? He’s on a 1 year deal.

Open up 'dem roster spots. Also, a sign of goodwill. He is a good soldier. Frustrating to watch most nights, but he kepts his head down and kept bricking like a pro.

if you buy any of these guys, who is getting picked up by a playoff team? Maybe Ellington- but what has he shown so far this year, besides last night?

I'd be inclined to keep all of these players, figure out if any make sense long term.

This is pure theory,zero facts, and makes no sense.

More losses do not result in a higher pick, that was clear evidence last season when the team with 9th worse record(33 wins) got the 1st pick.

Why would you subject your youth to just give up on the season when your 5 games out with 30 left to play.

34 wins

This is true for about half your comments. But what are you referencing?

Math. The odds of worst record is 14.5%, thus your 85.5% odds of NOT getting the top pick. We get it.
Just because NOLA did it won’t year is not recurring. We are not trending toward the tank. Who are you talking about?

Why would you subject your youth to just give up on the season when your 5 games out with 30 left to play.

Again, who said tank? You move up players and give them a chance. But reality is your not wining without talent. Your not entirely wrong. Team should not give up but at the same time if there is not thought to keeping some guys beyond into next season there is not logic to keep them other.

34 wins Is that what your projecting need be to take the 8th spot?
We really going to win 17 MORE games this season? I Think we have to go 17-11 to get to 34 wins. Only 28 games to go. I agree we should not tank, but at the same time you want decent odds for a good pick.
