How Conflicted Are You In Winning or Getting a Better Draft Pick

I'm not conflicted at all. This season is OVER. Stick a fork in em, they're done. The most logical direction would be to salvage what they can from it, and maximize opportunity and potential for the next head coach.

OR, continue to win, not go to the playoffs, and get a mid to late mid round draft pick....again....

Yeah....not conflicted at all.

But it’s not technically nor mathematically over. Though the possibility to have any sort of postseason birth is almost remote.

So are you advising they tank?


I can’t get on board with that. Mostly because there is an unspoken agreement between professional teams and their fans and that is “you support us and we will try our best to win”

If they decided to start a bunch of young guys for experience and the losses came that way despite their attempts to win, I could live with that - but I couldn’t be ok with my team actively trying to lose or giving an intentionally poor effort.

Tanking guarantees nothing but a loss of trust and respect from your fan base.

Also, this is a pretty uninspiring year to be the top 3 in the draft.

So I say, give maximum effort and try to win them all - they won’t win them all anyway, but at least we know they are giving their all for themselves and the fans.

I’d rather that any day.
