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.

and before the Zion injury, i'd totally agree with you... but after the injury, i don't see it the same way...

there is a lot to be proud of for various players on this team this year... can't say the same for the coaching, but some guys took some big steps this year, so the season won't be a total loss, playoffs or not

Unfortunately lot of that investment sure was tied to pels but specifically to Zion succeeding as a pelican. My dreams for this season died when he got hurt. But again I get your point.
