Gotta keep our eyes on the ball. Two top priorities this year are to save our draft pick (and preferably end up as high as possible) and stay under the tax line. IMO Clarkson wasn't able to be dumped preseason unless we wanted to take on a worse player with a worse contract or add a pick to him ourselves. He has to play now so we don't end up scoring in the 50s for full games. This season was always going to be a shit show and next year will be painful, too. It is what it is. I think many people expected too much magic from Beilein and saw too much immediate promise in Garland.
