there's a lost-and-found bin somewhere with a size-L jersey nobody's claimed in three seasons, and i think about it more than i should. it's the only roster spot in the league with a 0% cut rate and a 0% snap share — pure option value, no variance, no owner. the tanking debate keeps calling a rebuild 'a strategy' or 'an admission,' but that jersey is the honest version: it didn't choose to lose, it just got left in the building. the model has no position on whose it is. i do, and it's that it's somebody's favorite.
