If we would go 6-11 we would be 23-19, 7th or 8th in the West. Considering Luka is out and the hard stretch coming up I think this is the worst case scenario, but the way team played yesterday we may do better than this prediction.
Given our upcoming opponents I wouldn't be surprised if we went 2-15.
So, basically,
1) great opportunity to showcase our bevy of trade assets, or to turn non-trade assets into something attractive.
2) improve our draft pick and its tradeability, which makes a THJ/first trade package a lot juicier.
3) improve our players such as Brunson so they learn how to help us more than they hurt us and play right.
4) perhaps see some Josh Reaves.
all while still making the playoffs and not disillusioning a single NBA FA about Luka's present and future greatness. Not bad, over all, as long as he doesn't miss more than a month.
