Part of me thinks it's a waste to be a middle of the pack team
Option 1
Play slightly under .500 ball with Gordon
Finish with wins in the low 30's like 31-51
Get the 7-8 pick
Option 2
Play around .650 ball with Gordon
Finish around .500 like 40-42
Get the 11-14 pick
With Option 2 it will be much easier for Demps to sell free agents "Once we got fully healthy we played well enough to be a 5-6 seed, you'd make us a 1-4 seed!" So the question is do we want better FAs or a better draft pick? I vote for FAs considering our cap space and that anyone we pick even at 7 will likely be a project like Rivers. Not to mention that Option 1 suggests our core isn't as good as we need it to be. I just can't see the positive in losing this season.

I think we are even closer than it seems to being a really good team. Looking at Hollingers Power Rankings, we have had the hardest schedule in the NBA by a pretty large margin.

I agree with everything you said. The draft is weak, so a high pick isn't even a sure thing. However, we definitely have space for free agents. We need to prove we're not a dumpster fire to have any hope of attracting good players.
