Yeah, I've had to come over to this side of the debate, too. I was full on for tanking, but not if we were doing it half-way. We're just too good/mediocre and others are just too terrible for us to tank this season without harming ourselves.
That being said, I want all in for the playoffs this year, then. No more trading off our expirings for not-very-valuable 2nd rounders, as long as we can still build Young some playing time. No matter what people say about Boston and free agents, I think this summer and next will really detail how we fair with free agents. We won't be the most attractive place this summer, but having space to sign two really good players, playing in the weak East, having the Celtic tradition, and making the playoffs as a pesky 8th seed will make us at least attractive.
