I am sure a lot of people are in the same position as you. I emotionally cannot root against the Kings. It cannot be done. BUT ... if we lose, it's a win also because of draft position. As an addendum, I don't think you are teaching young kids anything of value if you teach them not to try. As much as they might understand the logic, it just goes against the competitive instinct of the normal professional athlete.
Besides, although losing may seem clever, if I were a free agent, I would rather come to a team that is busting its balls then one that is deliberately losing. Maybe some people think differently. Finally, losing for draft position may get you into a draft that ends up with a huge amount of crap shootitis built into it. As an example, when we look back in time, last year's draft may have been one of the top three of the last decade and we had cruddy position.
So there. I have spoken ,,,,,, or written ,,,,, or whatever.
So, it might be better, for those who think like me, to get the youth reps
