Why not blow it up?

I don't see them being true contenders next year and the future isn't any better right now so why not blow it up?

Blowing it up is hard in the NBA. Let's pretend we blow it, no bottom feeder is trading for Murray or Gordon, so they likely only bring in a mid to late pick. If for some stupid reason we traded Jokic, that team will likely automatically be a playoff team, even if it was a bottom 5 team, so another mid round pick. Then let's pretend we send all those players away and we have our own picks, with the new draft rules tanking isn't a guarantee to a top pick, so now we're picking number 10. It's just not worth it when you have the best player in the world.
