completely ridiculous. this franchise is done now.

mchale will draft yet another unproductive player.

It is funny how this thread became ice cold after being hot for most of today in this forum right after the lottery. It wasn't surprising either.

[the main event]

could this lottery be any worse!?
two teams in our own divison will get to split the oden and durant party and all we can do is just cry as at least portland(still not sure about seatlle) will become a divison force at a time when utah and denver are always up there.


got damn it this is threat is really serving it's headline now.

[Avalanche]

Portland has just instantly turned their franchise around in 2 years with Roy/Oden...
Durant to Seattle is KG to the wolves all over again, i really didnt want to see durant land with the sonics.

... so we get the number 7 as predicted, im hoping we trade this now.

I knew that would happen after that commercial break... Just our luck. So not only do we have the Jazz, who is the best team. We have the Nuggets, who are a good growing team and have ai and melo. Now, we will have the two best players in one of the most talented drafts in years to go to the other two teams in the division..... Sweet.

We will be in 5th or 4th place for the next few years anyways.... I think its time to rebuild?

[Mateo]

how do you rebuild when you owe other teams your draft picks for the next few years and only have 1 good trade prospect?

[Avalanche]

yeah, i think if we have faith in KG we aim at 2-3 years to make a run, THEN rebuild.
we have a pick to trade, ricky on an expiring 2 improving guards and the guy i still consider to be the best in the nba.
go for something big.... ray allen, JO, Artest, Randolph.... SOMETHING, take a chance to get it now because franchise players dont come by every night.

[Mateo]

I don't think we have the assets to get anyone big. This draft devastated us. The only thing that can stop us from becoming the worst team in the league for the next 5-10 years is getting super-duper lucky in our #7 pick and having someone who's an instant superstar.

[JuX]

Meh, I hate this system today. It is time to change.

But there is nothing I could do about it.

that aint gonna heppen unfortunately.... i think that drop off is inevidable, but id love to try and make a last chance run before that happens.. theres still a few years of KGs prime remaining, take a chance while we have that because that talent level isnt going to come by all the time.
then, whether that was successful or not, the time will come to rebuild, and we wont be giving away draft picks like we are for the next couple of years...

Unfortunately, it might be time to leave the legacy behind next year. He has been screwed over too many times. We will keep giving away draft picks because we makes worthless trades lately with crappy coach. Hey, it's McHale!

I'm not too happy with the outcome right now. From being the best team in west 3 years ago to potentially the worst team in league next year. All we do are to stay put and let the sufferings get the best of us. We also need to wait till the long, expensive (and stupid) contracts to be over before we can actually rebuild again. Until this, I don't see trades in our favor happening unless another team fall for a stupid move, we'll be happy to root for the worst franchise, for once again.

[Mateo]

That's the thing, we can't even start rebuilding for another 3 or 4 years due to abysmal contracts and the lack of draft picks.

exactly, personally i think giving it that 3 or so years to try and make an immediate impact, then we can rebuild. it has to be worth a try surely

[Mateo]

it's worth a try just because there's literally nothing else we can do. if we trade garnett, well, then we still don't have draft picks or prospects or cap space. So if you can't rebuild, might as well pray for a lucky deal happening. The thing is, I doubt any team will talk to us about a trade that doesn't include Garnett.
