Possibly, but it's pretty clear right now that they can't win without Pekovic. And with him in, they might be barely good enough to sneak into the playoffs.
Right now they're 4 games under 500. There's still plenty of season left to go, but if they're not going to play defense or figure out how to run a half court offense worth a shit, they're going to be stuck in no-man's land regardless of what they do.
May as well grab their lottery pick now, and hope that next year they're good enough to get into the playoffs. It would suck to miss out on a 1st round draft pick when they're picking at 14 or lower.
