00:00They are really concerned and are prioritizing an outside shot, frankly, to win a terrible division.
00:09They think that's more important than the offseason process being enhanced.
00:14Their thought is, well, we'll have our regular allotment of draft picks and we'll have regular allotment of salary cap
00:19money.
00:20We'll improve, again, the way we improve this offseason.
00:23Now, I don't know that that was enough this year, but etc.
00:25But they are prioritizing the short term over the long term.
00:28That's the only explanation for it, right?
00:29Now, you could dress it up in a different way, going, we're not out of it.
00:33We beat the Giants on Thursday.
00:34It's game on in this dumb division, etc., etc.
00:36But really what it is, it's a tug of war between short term and long term.
00:40And long term is winning in a lot of cities where the team's bad.
00:44It's not going to win here.
00:46Short term is going to win.
00:47They are more concerned about this season.
00:50And there are legitimate arguments to be made in terms of development of young players.
00:53And if you get rid of a couple of veterans for a late round draft pick, does that make Jaden
00:58Daniels better?
00:59Does that make Antonio Williams better?
01:00Does that make Sonny Stiles better?
01:02There's a case to be made.
01:02It's not one that I agree with, but I get it.
