Post trade deadline draft clarity.......2 C's #1's likely in 2019
Memphis's pick.....not this year unless the Grizz screw up tanking.
LA Clippers pick......trending "not this year" either.
Tanking strategy activated
Dumped their scorer, shedding cap space for next year...finishing as a lottery team with max salary slots and their 2019 #1 is a better long term strategy vs remaining a low seeded playoff team with no 2019 #1.
Sacremento's pick is 97% alive but these scrappy Kings have bolstered their roster at the deadline and look to climb out of lottery contention and into the West's top 8 with three better record teams in their sites. (Lakers are in the same boat)
Boston .......mid twenties pick seems their destiny.
2019 draft prediction:#18, #24................. #54
---------------------------------------
C's two recent games vs high profile Western teams.........two 4th qtr shrinkage displays by Kyrie. Multiple turnovers from forced passes in each game.....and don't get me started on his "defense."
Max Al was basically benched in the 2nd half vs a Laker team intent on crashing the boards. Maybe it was a health issue....who knows.....but without under appreciated Baynes, Daniel Theis became the Brad's crunch time choice.
C's vs West.....10-10
C's vs top 8 in West......2-7
-----------------------------------------------------
I've finally been able to pinpoint what I don't like about this new NBA. In this 3 pt crazy league, teams don't get many opportunities to defend their basket.
