I fear we would have to lose out to make sure we have a solid chance in the lottery. Getting the 6th worst record is probably the best case scenario, in which case we are almost guaranteed a Top 8 pick and have a chance of close to 30 per cent for a Top 3 pick.
To have a very good chance to keep our pick in the Top 10 we need to finish with the 9th worst record.
Would be a bold move, but if everybody had the understanding that can’t win big without defense and capable interior players it would be the right thing to do, wouldn’t it?
