I know they're second to last in the West, but they're only four games back from the 8 seed. While I don't necessarily love the idea of them pushing Zion back into the mix just to line up to get killed by the Lakeshow, I think it'd be great for getting the fans excited about the Zion era and could possibly even show free agents that they're not just tanking and fucking around, they're trying to win sooner rather than later.

If they don't think the playoffs are truly attainable, then just let him train this season, bring him in next year, and hope for a Top 3 pick.
