It just hit me, we're getting the All-Star game in 2016 for the first time in franchise history. MLSE heads probably told Ujiri that there is NO WAY this team can be crap next year, especially not on purpose.
If you're hosting the All-Star game you want to host as one of the top teams, you want to host with your stars participating, the last thing you need is to have a lame duck team the only year you get this event.
Put me on record that there will not be any major changes this year and if anything there will be patchwork done to try and make sure we continue as the head of the weak Atlantic division just to save face in front of the league (and I don't really disagree, it's embarrassing when a shit team hosts the ASG).
