For sure, but I think my point is that more often than not "getting off the treadmill" results in never getting back on. Planning around being terrible enough to draft enough top players is difficult in that the lottery itself can conspire against one's best worst efforts, and when a team is bad enough long enough it seems to quickly spiral out of control.

It is such a delicate juggling act that I don't think success is as simple to achieve by merely the plan to draft high. Maybe the key is to be bad enough but only briefly enough to get in and then out of the Lottery in a hurry.
