I'll simplify like this: Yeah, I care about the longterm future of the franchise, but at the end of the day, from my point of view, they exist strictly for my short term entertainment.


And this is where some people and fans differ. I would like this team at some point in my lifetime to win a title. I don’t think a meaningless playoff series without our best player helps advance that in any way. In fact it might hurt it.

I do get your point but I want this franchise and organization to be more than it is.

I mean sure, but I don't think us winning the title is as razor thin as whether we get the 14th pick or the 21st pick.

The NBA draft as a whole is kind of a crapshoot once you get past pick 8.


Don't get me wrong, when I know coming into a season that we're, at best, a borderline playoff team, I'd rather us just tank for a high lottery pick. But for this season, when we came in with expectations of maybe fricking around and making the 2nd round or even a darkhorse run to the WCF. I'd rather us at least make the playoffs just to show that at least some of my investment emotionally and financially this season was worth it.
