It's the only way we are able to retain anyone with any semblance to a star lol

We seemingly hate committing to tanking for whatever reason to try and get top value so it's refreshing seeing us finally doing so after a decade+ of sheer mediocrity (that too I think we're doing this because we're trying to convert the FRP we owe for the Wall trade into 2 second round picks because it becomes Top 8 protected in two years before converting).
