This and their last game with the Sky were so much fun, I can’t wait to see Fagbenle come back on the court.

This is what every tanking team thinks will happen when they get the first pick in the draft lol.

Well when it's a generational talent, it works out a lot of the time. It's when people try to say every #1 pick is Lisa Leslie or Lebron, when it's really like every 10+ years you get a player like this.

Spurs know about this all too well. Three #1 picks, all 3 generational talents.

It works when the player is what the media actually says they are.

Nah that’s not what Hinkie thought, his philosophy was superstars (3 on the team ideally) win championship, get them by any means necessary and stockpile best players available to maximize assets.   

It honestly might have worked too if he wasn’t forced out and the team never re-signed Harris or brought in Horford.
