Jackpotting Around - Episode 50 Tankxiety and the Trade Machine

[Tremendous Upside]

Just listening to this now. I reject @Elizah Huge ’s claim that nobody thinks that a 28 team is so much better for development than a 22 win team. It’s been the main talking for me this season, I’ve been disagreeing with lots of people that feel this way.

What about those of us who don't pretend to care about any fake "development" in the first place but just want to win as much as possible?

We're the great, silent majority.

I would enjoy to win as much as possible into the future, but it’s not up for me to decide what people enjoy. Most people probably just want to see a W on any given night and don’t think past that. It’s totally valid to just want to win instead of thinking big picture. I don’t have a problem with what any fan enjoys and there’s nothing to discuss wrt what a person enjoys.

In my post, I am talking about is the big picture and what’s best for winning long term. People try to argue this “winning culture” BS as an actual big picture item is what I disagree with. If you want the W because you like to see the W…cool. But don’t make it out to be some 200iq team building strategy. It’s not.

Saying those who wish for Ws not thinking past single games is just the most arrogant BS ever. There are people who are super super casual and/or dumb enough to not realize there is a draft and that we may forfeit our pick.... but that is a small minority of people. Most fans ARE passionate and know their teams affairs to that level. The vast majority of people who do know these basic facts probably have 1000 different reasons why they hope the team goes one way or the other.

Seeing the big picture is about realizing there are many paths and and even more variables.., not fixating on one path and saying its the only correct one. So I would argue that instead of actually seeing the big picture, you are proving the exact opposite.

I think you have it the other way around. To be clear, I’m talking about all fans. Like anyone who might attend or watch a game on TV. We’re really the minority compared to general population. And that’s not arrogance or saying we’re better for it lol.
