I didn’t think I’d ask this at the beginning of the season but here we are...

This team has problems. DA had a terrible offseason.  But on the bright side we have two of the best young wings in the league.

We have a large window with two young stars, but this team isn’t winning anything this year.

Why not get in the lotto? Strong draft, the ping pong balls fall correctly, and we’re in business with another young stud.

Sit Kemba. Rest the Js frequently and just let everything fall where it may.

Thoughts?

Well we need more talent on this team, don’t really care how Danny goes about it.

They don't need to put anymore effort into losing than they already are.

If teams won’t trade with Danny stingy Ainge he may want to tank to get talent.

Unless the team plans on sitting Tatum and Brown there is no way it can or will be able to tank.  And I have no idea why the team would sit Tatum and Brown.

Yep. Danny has no more cards. Players/agents/GMs are done with his act. It worked for awhile but it’s time to move on and accept it’s a players league, not a league for stubborn GMs w/ zero loyalty.

He won’t be fired though cause money talks. We aren’t winning it all this years. If no moves are made there will be tax and salary savings plus if Tatum doesn’t make all nba then his contract won’t adjust, saving $$ as well. Honestly if Kemba wouldn’t cost a pick to dump, he would be gone to save some cash as well.
