Teams were trying to rip us off, so we showed them all up by ripping ourselves off! What, you want to give us a ten dollar bill and three fives for this used scratch ticket? We'll happily keep the ticket, thanks anyway. Just look at all the prize amounts under the losing numbers that it theoretically could have been worth!

Seems like I hear that a lot from you, Wyc. Maybe the problem isn't the other 29 teams...

Seems that the team keeps getting better every year. Maybe it's not a problem.

You can't really argue with this logic.

depends on what your definition of better is.

The Bulls wanted Lavine and #5 from Minnesota. I can't imagine that it was really anything above Crowder and #3, which you do every single day of the week.

We won 1 game in the first round instead of getting swept.

Ikr, this is why Danny has a bad reputation among the GMs because he always try to lowball them, paying the smallest to get the biggest.  Every now and then, like today, just get off the nonsense and pay them what you need to pay to have what you want.  You give up value to get value.  This is bullcrap.

yeah! baby steps! at this rate, when we reach our "potential" and have been swept in the 1st rnd. 8 more times we'll be bad enough to finally rebuild this team the way we should have from the start.

if having them would make a difference i'd be surprised. we had most of them in game 1 and were getting blown out.

the only way this team gets better is if a couple guys take major steps and pretty much surprise everyone. I don't see vegas making that bet.

The average PER of 15.14 could've gotten us to the ECF.

I see the whiny crowd is out in full force.  The degree of certitude about the eventual career performance levels of draftees is breathtaking, to say the least.

This really couldn't be any worse.  They draft a 6'8 power forward that jacks up 3's.  Sullinger 2.0

I wish Wyc was not in the locker room.   I hope he is not pulling a Jerry Jones.
