Like a lot of you, I was calling for a total tear down at last years trade deadline and in the off-season. Had AKME went in that direction, it would make sense that whatever set of players would be on the team this year would be 5-13.
But that’s not what AKME did, and yet they are 5-13. With it seeming likely that Zach gets traded soon, it seems like the team is not getting any better this year. The best thing we can hope for at this point is for the L’s to keep piling up so that we can get a high lottery pick next year. Right now they are 5th in the tank standings. Assuming Zach is traded, I hope that DeMar, Vucevic and Caruso are traded too. Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig can be trade pieces as well. Please do all that AKME. No one cares about going for the 10th seed.
My positive spin is that it’s clear AKME understands Lavine is a losing player and are trying to move him. I’ve been waiting for this shit for years. You can’t win with dudes like Zach Lavine.
