I've already linked math showing the pick hit rate between 14 and 21 is almost the same. There's no point arguing this anymore if people are just going to ignore math.

Provide the math showing how playoff basketball positively impacts a player developing at a higher rate and how that is more valuable than having a draft pick 7 slots higher. Also provide math on how young role players getting playoff experience is a much bigger benefit to this organization than to them missing the playoffs and putting pressure to making serious organizational changes.

I’ll sit back and read.

No one has charted that information. But you already knew that. What I have shown is that there is minimal difference in the hit rate of the pick, and at bare minimum getting guys like murphy and Dyson and Herb playoff reps can't hurt. It's also not an absolute certainty that we'll lose to the Thunder either. They're a rolled sga ankle away from it being an interesting series too.

You would prefer to lose for no real gain, except for your next part

Theres no way of you or I knowing what bar needs to be met for any change to be made. I can guarantee you Griffin will hang his hat on 49 wins regardless of if we win tomorrow or not. Willie is apparently already extended, and I doubt they remove Griffin, and you know that doesn't matter if we win tomorrow or not, and I'm not going to invent some hypothetical math bullshite like you to reinforce my point either.
