Seriously does anyone still think the right move was not to tank?

  2. No, this was a pointless season and a top pick in a deep draft is needed

    Hindsight is 20/20 but with what looks like a third season in a row wasted on mediocrity with no playoffs and no hope of a young star out of the draft is there anyone still remaining who thinks aw shuck we gave it our all but just came up a bit short better luck next time fellas?!

    I wouldn't say tank but playing Martin and Scola excessively was not the right thing.....
    Should have tried harder to ship them and play the young guns.... we would found out that most of the 09ers were beyond salvation and would have moved on earlier.

    i was in definate support of tanking at beginning of year... we have 3 potential draft picks now... if we were crap we probably would have shipped both scola and martin away for extra picks... but once we started getting hot and on a roll... i wanted to win, just make the playoffs even if we did lose in first rd...i reall wish we didnt turn things around after we went 3-7 to start season... we could be looking at 4-5 1st rd picks... maybe even top 7 of our own... hell we could have almost drafted the entire kentucky wildcats if we got lucky... or bad enough.... but its been exciting rooting for the playoffs albeit it is heart breaking now....
