Yeah, even if we make the playoffs next year and go on a nice little run, it would be a very bad idea to field a bad team in 2018.
Even if they don't make the playoffs in 2018, if we won 86 games, its 3 years out from a championship, we had another playoff team in 16 or 17, new young team with hope, then the local TV ratings are still going to be huge.
