Yeah. That's what I mean. If they win the two playing games and they sneak in in that case, and there's a seven or eight, like you gotta, you have to go for that possibility. You can't completely tank out here, but if MB doesn't come back, Moving up in the lottery is your silver lining here for Philadelphia. But I don't think you can tank for that.

You at least have to go for it. Otherwise, it's another year wasted. And for Daryl Morey in the front office as well, and Nick Nurse as head coach, that could mean your job too.

Yeah, I mean, at the least, at a minimum, he was a far better spot-up shooter than Tobias Harris. He was always above 40% from three. Tobias Harris was very streaky and consistent in lower volume. This year, Paul George, only 35% from three, has not been a knockdown guy on top of, you know, just stinking it up, end-of-game situations, losing control of the ball in the final minutes of games.
