Problem is while I do not want to get blown out every game, we actually need MORE L's for the only major draft pick that we will have
If we repeat what we have been doing by winning meaningless games, we will be screwed if we take ourselves out of the shot of having the #1 overall pick for OK4
Westbrook/Curry
Vucevic
Mason Plumlee
are some players that were picked RIGHT before us, especially with Vucevic and Mason, both of which would chagne our dynamic of the team
We also didn't draft Bynum and Gobert when we could have, including Hibbert/DenAndre Jordan and many C's when we didn't have a PG or Center of the future, PG's include Holiday/Lawson

it goes down from 25 to 21 percent. I would rather win.

If we were Philly/Boston I would agree with you, as they have MANY picks and many young players, and salary cap to acquire players, however, we are very limited so this draft is much more important to us
We don't have the ability to be wrong on the pick
As of right now, we do not even know if we are doing a full youth movement/rebuild or a 1year fix with trying to win with CA starting next season

I would give up the five percent for building culture and making this a more desirable place for FA's. Right now, nobody has any interest in coming here unless we stupidly/grossly overpay.

I wonder what could it be that all these teams
Keep letting a really important piece of a hustling player on vet min deals go
Season after season after season, especially one with playoff exeprience
What could it be by golly

Good point. Those idiots don't have a chance with a Bertelstein client now!

Well in 2010 GSW had him, and they had David Lee too
In 2011-2012 the Pacers had him and in 2012-2013 drafted Miles Plumlee
In 2012-2013 the Pelicans-Wolves-Bulls had him
and
In 2013-2014 signed Alex Ajinca[Pelicans], In 2013-2014 drafted Robbie Hummel[Wolves] In 2013-2014 Taj Gibson inks extension[Bulls]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You see what I did there and where I'm going?
Hahahaha. Really?!? Hahahahaha!!! You funny.
I found out why he is really here.....
To win games!!!!

He's a professional. He will never be a star player, but he's a professional. Lance Thomas and Galloway need that credit too. This is the culture change we need.

Agree. Fisher talked about the three new guys and the change they have brought. Hardaway talked about it and Jason Smith spoke about Lou specifically.
This is exactly why I wanted to add Amundson to the 54 wins team
The new "Sweet Lou"!!!
F500 been sulking in the win streak???

Me too- I hoped we'd get him for a few seasons now. The other guy we messed up by not signing that season was Chris Anderson- he wanted to come here but we didn't want to take the risk due to the police stuff. He would have been a perfect replacement in the playoffs when Tyson pulled his usual playoff disappearance act.

What are you talking about
I'm here front and center and taking in
All the flip-floppin and front runnin here
Nothing has really changed except us messing up things
Like we usually do and not having a real plan in place
For the future, I'm lovin what Langston and Lance are doing though
