My brain says top 10 pick, but my heart says playoffs. Anything but the mushy middle where the team is too good for a top 10, but still misses the playoffs though and I certainly don't want to see any trades with "making the playoffs" as the driving factor. I am pretty confident that Conroy won't do anything like that anyway.

Honestly, I don't think about it too much. It's completely out of our control, so I just go along for the ride.

I guess if I had to pick one, I would say sell and go for a top 10 pick. I'd be lying if I said that losses still didn't piss me off and that wins still feel good though. If I was paying thousands for season tickets, I'd probably just want W's.
