We will probably drop out of the play in without trying if AD is out all season but even if we didn't explicitly try to lose there isn't enough time for us to gain any real traction in terms of lottery odds. Probably just help us improve our draft position like 4 or 5 spots (before we trade the pick in the KD deal this summer...).
improving the draft position by 5 spots in the lottery zone means a lot imho, at least it would increase the value of the pick which means we would pay less assets in other froms in a hypothetical KD trade.
