So we’re 33 games into the season and only 6 wins away from the third worst record in the league. If JB or JT got injured for the season next month, or we traded one for a bunch of picks (OKC treasure chest?), we’d easily be able to have a good shot at a top 5 pick.
We’re on the treadmill and it’s better to be a top lottery team with a shot at a blue chip than drafting 14-19 (as we know all too well with Romeo, Nesmith, Yabusele, Young, etc.)
