For some strange reason, I have a feeling that if we don't make the playoffs, our pick will be in the top 3 and the Grizzs will be thanking us dearly. It's the same strange feeling I got when I joked around with my buddies claiming that we would land Yao or Jay Will....wait a minute that did happen.
Look at it this way. Let's say the Grizz get our pick and it's a top 3. No problem. Let him develop with the Grizz and when he becomes a free agent, sign him. I doubt he would want to stay with a crappy team anyway. Wait a minute.....were a crappy team too.....uh, nevermind.
That is the same logic that I hear Laker fans use all the time about us and Yao We really need to make the playoffs this year. If we do not, MAJOR restructuring is needed.
