First off, don't get me wrong. I cheer for my team, and I know they would never dog (especially Kobe) on purpose. That is not the point of this thread.
However, I think there is a strong case that having a losing season this year is best for us. Here's why:
1) We NEED fresh young new talent - The draft is the best place to get that. Sure we can add veteran free agents, but that's not what I'm talking about.
2) We lost both draft picks in 2015 to the Suns and the Magic. Plus we don't have a second round pick in 2014. If we don't hit on our first round pick in 2014 - We will have nothing to show for draft picks until 2016.
3) The 2014 draft is pegged to be one of the best in recent history. We could land big, even with a top 10-12 pick.
Is it better for us to sneak into the 8th spot and get whipped, or better to miss out, and land big in both FA and the draft?
