Well just like last year im seriously disappointed again after the draft lottery.
heres some numbers...
this year
>5 games separated us from the 1st pick.
last year...
> 1 game separated us from the first pick.
> 2 games from the second pick and
> sure enough we LOST the tie breaker for the 8th and 9th pick.
SO THIS BRINGS ME BACK TO TANKING IF YOUR TEAM IS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK....
this is my opinion... But I think that winning the lotto by moving into the top 3 spots is much more of a moral booster (for the players and fans) than playing your vets big min's late in the season trying to eek out meaningless games....that will in the end only hurt your future in the sense that your team sucks bad enough to miss the playoffs and personal wise your already looking at not being in the best spot to land a impact player that will help turn around your sorry team.
yes the draft and lotto are a gamble but it helps when you have a GM with the uncanny ability to find and draft great talent. and by tanking your basically allowing this GM better odds at better players the will in turn make your team better in the future!
Muss and Reggie blew it two straight years now. drive up the wins! mess with the young guys mins! win win win ! with nothing at stake other than losing out on talent!
We should have shut down Brad way before we did and started Hawes for alot more games. Douby and Williams should have played more! We should have called up all the best D-league players and tried to find a gem (yeah we were at the limit of active players who cares) L.Wright, Lue, A.Johnson should have never been given Kings uniforms.
