Pick 10+ or playoffs, and I think most of us choose playoffs in that scenario as long as they don't trade the draft pick to get there.
thats gonna be the issue
for whatever reason that draft pick seems to be burning a hole in dell's pocket and to be honest the only reason this team sneaks in to the top 8 is that the bottom of the west is crap, not because the pels are all of a sudden a well constructed and well coached team
alas, i fear the worst case scenario...dell trades the pick and they get waxed in round one as an eighth seed, setting us up for nothing better in the years to come

I think there might be a little echo chamber effect making us think that. The Pels being linked to the best player on the trade market doesn't necessarily equate with the pick burning a hole in their pocket. Fortunately most of the players available for trade are guys Gentry probably wouldn't give minutes to anyway.
The Pels also kind of have the 8th seed as their ceiling. They have enough horses to get the 8 seed but even adding a Millsap probably doesn't help you get better than 8th. Demps should do what he's done before at the trade deadline, look for facilitator deals to dump a bad contract like Ajinca and get a useful rotation player back.
I'm still not sure what the Hawks are doing with Millsap. I think they don't want to resign him and will eventually trade him, but can they really tank with a core of Schroeder/Howard? They aren't great but they should be good enough to keep them in the purgatory of the draft that the Kings have been wandering for the past decade. Denver and Atlanta have enough spare wings between them that if they do a Millsap trade it'd be nice to slip in Ajinca and the Philly pick for a wing.
