That’s the problem. The NBA is actively incentivizing teams to create a garbage product. Without penalties to tip the scales, they are 100% making the right decision (at the expense of everyone who likes watching the sport)

Guess you don’t remember them sending Horford home, sitting Shai every time they started to win, and starting the elite lineup of Zavier Simpson, Vit Krejci, Georgios Kalaitzakis, Isaiah Roby, and Jaylen Hoard.

They tanked like crazy for Giddey and Chet. And honestly if they hadn’t they might not win last season, Chet and Caruso were key in that run

GoldenStateWizards | Warriors

1 | 8 minutes ago

The Wizards did exactly that last season (ethically tanking by giving a bunch of playing time to the guys they actually wanted to develop), and they got rewarded by falling to 6th in a draft that’s ended up having a clear top 4 so far. If they got the same luck as the much more established Spurs, 6ers, or Mavs (minus Nico choosing to get rid of Luka on his own volition), then there’s a good chance they’d already start trying to be a lot more competitive this year, like the Hornets are thanks to Kon.

No I wouldn’t. My team is tanking and I hate it. Let me watch our mid squad ball out and pull off a miracle/die trying. None of this unwatchable product shit.

Ah yes, prior to Adam Silver teams didn’t tank at all and the odds on tanking were totally better

Silver had the balls to go after a big franchise the Sixers tanking and fired their GM meanwhile Stern let teams tank all the time and didn’t do shit, Silver also changed the lottery odds too make it way harder to tank

KittenCrusades | Trail Blazers

Part of that has to do with this being one of the most stacked draft classes in history and the next 2 draft classes don’t look to be all that good.

Idk how can ppl say tanking is all time high lol. This season sure but last seasons tanking def was a lot less. It was so less that ppl made big deal about Mavs tanking last couple of games in 2022.

SloshaPacana

American sports don’t have relegation, fans don’t want it, owners don’t want it and at the same time fans don’t want a mid team only want a contender or bust

There in lies your problem, don’t blame Adam Silver or anyone for that matter, the way your sports work you will always have this

NBA at least is doing something about it, doesn’t handegg still not even have a lottery and you can just straight up tank

KittenCrusades | Trail Blazers

7 | 42 minutes ago

Why would relegation be the only answer?

SloshaPacana

-4 | 41 minutes ago

Go ahead suggest any solution and btw Adam Silver is not a dictator, he doesn’t have all the power, do you know how the NBA works and how voting works?

KittenCrusades | Trail Blazers

1 | 31 minutes ago

If the draft odds for lottery teams got locked around trade deadline, or slightly earlier, it would immediately remove all incentive for teams to tank the back half while still tipping odds in favor of the actually worst teams.

Some teams commit to sucking early, but most of the egregious stuff is in back half of season from teams that thought they might compete and decide to pivot

SloshaPacana

1 | 26 minutes ago

Good luck getting 23 owners out of 30 to vote for that, good luck.

Plus that doesn’t make sense, locking it early doesn’t change anything, teams would simply tank earlier lol

The Wemby draft was just 3 years ago, and people already forget the 10-day contract rosters being fielded the 2nd half of that season.

ReggieEvansTheKing | Kings

1 | 26 minutes ago

(1) eliminate trading pick protections aside from lottery protected

(2) every lottery team has equal odds of the #1 pick

(3) for pick #2+ order is determined by playoff drought and then for equal droughts, randomized. If you get a #1 pick your drought rank resets

Do all 3 and you’ve effectively ended tanking because the only possible way to improve your pick is to miss playoffs. Teams won’t do this on purpose at the end of the season and teams that are bad won’t have to tank to out-bad each other since their draft rank is determined before the season begins.

Clipgang1629 | Clippers

1 | 19 minutes ago

If anything that was one of the worst examples of tanking I’ve ever seen because the Mavs had a chance at the playoffs that year lol.

Idk what kind of revisionist history this is but the Mavs literally missed the play-in on purpose to avoid their pick conveying

No they didn’t, they were mathematically eliminated and that’s when they tanked.

Clipgang1629 | Clippers

Okay well that’s not at all what happened those two losses are what took them out of the play-in. I’m surprised you don’t remember that. You should Google it lol

And that was actually the harshest punishment the NBA has ever given out for tanking. There was a lot of talk at the time that the NBA might even take the pick away

I don’t really care btw just pointing out the hypocrisy

SuckMyyDirk41 | Mavericks

1 | 5 minutes ago

okc had the tie breaker over the Mavs so even if they won both those games we still wouldn’t have been in. They only tanked to try to get lower than the jazz but it didn’t work. By those last 2 games it was literally impossible for the Mavs to make the playoffs whether they won or lost. They only got fined because Kidd’s dumbass openly said we were tanking.
