If this is how we're gonna play, there is no need for a blow-up (which I've said all along - the blow-up is going to happen naturally when the contracts expire at the end of the season). We cannot possibly compete for the title (d'uh), and could, conceivably, miss the playoffs and end up in the lottery in one of the best drafts in a while. Who knows, maybe we could get lucky once (like OKC has done frequently) and even get a favorable ping pong bounce. Either way, if this is how we will play, I do not want us to make the playoffs and lose embarrassingly in the 1st or 2nd round. Better to get a high pick.
