But improving is not winning. Not until you hit that tipping point Xaos talks about. So you can want the team to improve but still hope they lose to get the pick. When you are out of it, winning does not matter so much. Improving does. Now the winning culture thing.... yes, that is real, but it is also subjective if it is more or less important than the high pick. I say less because that culture does not carry over for sure. People change and believe me, when you play well, that swagger develops awfully fast. You don't need last year. The flip side is when you play bad, last year does not matter either. you can be down even if last year was good. The pick is real. It is something that you can use to make the team better. So for me, that is more important. Others might think that I am totally off base. But it's still an opinion.Winning without improving would be pointless, this I can agree with.
But
Pushing for improvement while saying "don't win" IMO is impossible. Can't have one without the other.
