re: The importance of losing

A chance at the best (or 2nd best in Porter) SF in the draft who will be a low cost starter for the next 4 years is easily worth losing an extra 7 meaningless games for.
WTF do you all have such a hardon to go 31-51 instead of 24-58. What the frick does it matter?

I don't. I was very pro-tank last season. However, this draft is not the same as last year's draft, and there is no sure thing like Anthony Davis.
The difference between 31 and 24 wins is gonna change a couple of percentage points. It doesn't matter either way. We're one of the most talented teams of the bottom feeders, imo, and i don't think we will get one of the top 3 slots. It's a crapshoot past that.
You have to play the games. Tom Benson is making money based on the product on the court.
Should we bench all of our starters for the rest of the season? bench Davis? play him, but tell him not to play hard?
I'm in favor of playing guys like Rivers and Miller heavy minutes at the cost of some wins (and maybe a higher draft slot).
Also, as stated above, former championship teams drafted their superstar in the top ten and built around him through free agency and non-lottery picks in the draft.
...Shabazz, Gordon, Anderson, Davis...that's a lot of scoring power, limited shots to go around, many egos.

possibly...you don't know this.

if we could be guaranteed a cheap starter, that would be great...what if we in the 7 games, drop 2 spots in the draft, miss out on porter, and luck into the best player in the draft.
again, there isn't obnoxiously blatant tanking in the NBA...we should just rip off a 34 game losing streak?
