Really depends on what they are trying to achieve this year. When I read rumours about Chandler etc. my first thought was you have to be an idiot to even contemplate that BC. Highest draft pick possible is the ONLY thing that matters at all.
But you can accomplish other things whilst still tanking hard. Top of the list would not be having the worst defensive team in the history of organized basketball.
To get there and have AB as your stopper is something no human could do. Not even a combination of the 5 greatest coach's in history.
So how good a guy do you bring in to help on the defensive end. I would have thought Hayes was perfect. Right talent level. Magloire if he was the only center signed and they just platooned guys at that position is a real clear sign that it is all out tank this year.
Wouldn't bother me a bit if true. I want to see the likes of Barnes in the fold.
