For the Pels Eternal Optimist

The Lakers two years ago started the season 2-10 and made it to the WCF. We’re basically 3-9 with gleague players.
And if we keep losing remember Pels under first year coach Willie Green started 3-16 and still made the playoffs.
Before the play-in: In 96-97 Suns started 0-13 and still made playoffs. In 2016-17 Heat started 10-30 and finished the season 41-41- would have been ninth seed.
Yes we know- West is better, Fat Boy is never healthy, Willie sucks as coach, etc. But this is the only glimmer of hope we have to keep hoping at some point Pels turn this around and JRE officially disappears from the rotation.

No thanks. Burn it down.

Yeah, I keep saying that, if the team ever gets healthy, there's no way that we'll be able to tank to a high pick -- we're too talented. We knew that the team was talented going into the season, but we now have the emergence of Missi, the appearance of Boston, and BI shooting three more 3s per game than last season.
Dejounte's return is the key. I don't expect to win many games until he comes back.

DJ is the key. We have no ball handlers that scare defenses or can attack the rim. I also agree on Missi and Boston. The saddest part of the season is if healthy...this might have been a really fun team

The season is lost.
The hike we're digging will be too deep to do anything of note this season, other than another play in.
Unless our top 7 dudes just keep getting hurt(Pels injury Gods may say "hold my beer") we'll likely get enough dudes back at some point to be competent to decent or even pretty good if we get em all back, so a tank for a top 5 pick isn't likely.

This was likely our ceiling regardless, unless Zion made a jump
