[Senator Clay Davis]

^^The play is if your choices are spend the next three years being good enough to lose in the second round, or roll the dice and take one shot at going to the Finals, a shot that allows you to get to tanking a couple years faster (which you'll almost certainly need to do anyway), take the chance. Plus while it seems highly unlikely Kawhi re-signs, it could still happen and then you have a top 3 player in his prime on your team.
