I would turn into Dennis Rodman on steroids if it meant getting Dybantsa, Boozer, or Peterson

Those fans gonna tank too. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tank commander, checking in.

I would sign a 10 day no questions asked

I am 100%, no joke, planning to watch this game.

Pelicans dont own there pick jazz benched 3 starters in the 4th quarter to guarantee the lose, the bucks have been doing the same to out tank the bulls

Couldn’t agree more. I want to watch this so bad.

It is the best kind of sicko ball

The purest basketball there is /s.

That can also backfire tho, having unproven guys go out there trying their hardest to prove something and having them accidentally winning the game for you at the end works against you. Your sorcery confuses me wizard.

Hell yeah, it’s how you see dudes like Kenneth Lofton Jr. dropping 42

That stadium will be packed, no joke

The second half of that game was incredibly entertaining. 

Felt this way for the Wolves vs Magic a couple of nights ago, shit doesn’t matter and we are here to see someone put up number who shouldn’t be.

Bet the over every time on these

Ok, here’s my crazy tank fix solution. No changes to lottery odds. Fans buy tickets and opt-into a draft to play. No pro/college/equivalent experience allowed. They get $100k/game each. Teams can sign up to 10 of these people to a one game contract and they do not count against salary or roster spot restrictions, but if both teams only play these players they have to lower ticket prices to the most expensive hs game in a 300 mi radius of the stadium

As long as the coach isn’t pulling those 2 way guys having career nights, or drawing up plays where they intentionally take a 35 footer with 15 seconds on the shot clock

Chris Copeland - 17 points, four threes, 4 FTA

I didn’t hear no bell

No we’re going down!

We’re gonna get creamed!

We just need a designated drunk Grizzlies and Jazz fan who both think its their time to shine.

“The Losing Edge” S9E5.

Not so long ago the best Bucks FA signings ever were Greg Monroe and Matthew Dellevadova.

You can I’ve seen a few ways. But the nba won’t do what is necessary

Instead of relegation, teams that finish in bottom 5 (?) in ³⁄₅ years have to be put up for sale. Owners can keep the team if no offers above the original purchase price.

Dude getting rid of max contract while still having our cap situation would be so interesting. I wonder how high of a contract we’d see since you can’t really just throw all the cap into one player, but getting someone like SGA, Jokic, or Luka could change your future and are worth more than the current cap.

Look at the Rockets. Ranked for four years, never got #1. They have good players but no superstars, and you need superstars.

Number 1 is how you get Wemby, Cade, Ant, etc…So I don’t blame teams for doing everything possible to get that pick.

There’s rebuilding and there’s tanking.

“We need to clear our books and be bad for a couple of years for a clean slate” is perfectly fine

“We need to intentionally lose every game by running out non-NBA talent” is not

If you flatten the odds for every non-playoff team, it gets rid of the need to lose as many games as possible. You now only need to lose, like, 50 games.

Cash bonuses for players that win. The coach can throw all he wants, if the players get paid to win then they will try

There is drama with who the Nuggets will play in round 2 - Okc or SA. Big advantage for whoever avoids.

Our 10 day guys try their ass off. We just play Jon Konchar at Center and play Bez Mbang 48 minutes so they have no chance at winning the game.

And even then we’ve hung around in most games until some 28-2 run happens. And of course Will Hardy is not quick to call a timeout and change out the lineup when those runs are happening.

They did that last year

Maybe the NBA should just have a draft bracket to determine the draft position. Include all teams not in playoffs. Make it concurrent with the actual playoffs. Top seeds start from 9th position in standings. Bo3 series. Winner of bracket gets 1st pick, runner-up gets 2nd, and so forth. Tie breakers for draft position can be something like the total number of games won in all series, followed up with points scored, or some random shit like that.

NBA gets more games in and more money. Problem solved 💀

Odd effect of make it, take it too.

There’s already baked in revenue reduction to bad teams… Adding a subjective tax just starts a whole shit storm.

I don’t think that will disincentivize them enough.

The upside of getting a Wemby is so high that a smart owner should just happily pay any tax.

They are effectively already paying a tax with the lower ticket sales.

Does it work retroactively? Because the current top three teams in the league right now all heavily benefited from tanking, and are the reason why we have so many now.

This is stupid, because if the Jazz are secretly as good as everyone says we are, couldn’t we just win-tank to the exact spot that the “new” #1 pick is at?

It’s not clear that throwing games is a problem. A lot of small market teams like that you can throw games in the short term to get better players in the long term. And small market teams have a majority of voting rights in the NBA.
