re: Just tank already

Unless we make a trade for a guy that becomes a starting long term piece next to AD and Jrue that clicks, like Rudy Gay being the SF we're missing, I can't think of an outcome to this season that is more detrimental to the long term success of the franchise than making the playoffs. Too many changes need to be made and making the playoffs sends the wrong signal about the state of the team, in addition to making our pick #15 rather than #10 or lower.

You may or may not be correct. That said, however, I abhor the idea of tanking. In fact, I consider it fraudulent, and it should be actionable by the league and other authorities if it can be established to be intentional.

I'm not in charge of rebuilding this team. I go to games to watch players play hard and be competitive. It's more fun to win than to lose. I'm not sure about the "wrong signal" you're referring to. I don't think anyone is deluding themselves that we don't have a ways to go.

I completely understand and "get" theory behind the argument, but I don't give a frick about it.
