Staying competitive is dumb in this case. We're going to be out, it's only 25 games, suck as much as possible and get the highest draft pick you can. Then come back with a winning environment next season.
I posted about this yesterday, but to me this same group is the group that dogged it and performed like crap at the beginning of the season when it mattered. Rewarding them for finally coming through when there's no pressure to do so is silly. I understand sending a message but these guys are adults. They know the standings situation. They understand how the league works. They can suck it up for the last 25 games when really they threw out their own chances of success in the first 25. If they want to be rewarded bring this same intensity out of the gates next year.
