It doesn't inspire confidence to me that Conroy said this. Not that I have a problem with Dallas. What they've done is impressive. But to use them as a model specifically. It's very much we want to have our cake and eat it too. We're somehow going to draft better than everyone else without going through any pain.

It's sort of an unclear if not delusional vision. I almost wonder if it's a narrative for ownership more than anything. We know you only get franchise players from finishing last, but we have some good players so we can't, so we just have to draft better than everyone else somehow. Even though there are highly competent teams without the handicaps of our market, and many with larger budgets to spend on scouting than us.
