That’s the worst idea imo. They need to develop a winning culture, not build on this losing culture they’ve had the last x amount of years.
Winning = creates confidence. Confidence = even more wins.
Plus, they’ll only butcher their draft pick anyway / ruin their development, like they’ve done with everyone else in the last decade.
8th, 9th, and 10th seeds likely end in a blowout first round demoralizing loss to the Celtics so how is that building a winning culture?
Most of the top East teams are not going to fall behind Philly at this point. Boston, Cleveland, Indy, New York, Milwaukee, and Orlando all have pretty good regular season teams
So they’re playing to get 7th where they need to also win their first play-in game to have a shot at upsetting like Cleveland or New York? I don’t see that happening either
