Re: Thoughts on "Tanking"??

Tanking is pointless as far as I'm concerned. Making the play-offs gains experience for the team and money to the investors and the city. Also, the first round picks that Philly and Minnesota have been getting will end up bolting for bigger markets. Not many Iverson's and Durant's that will stay loyal to a city they have no affiliation with. The two mentioned also never brought rings to the franchise. Dirk barely squeaked away with one.

Great teams are acquired and built. One first round pick will never win a ring. Great management, a smart coach, two to three stars and good rotation / bench wins rings. Also, being a marketable franchise to free agents is a big plus.

Re: Thoughts on "Tanking"??

if the city cant attract free agents in the first place the only way they can look to build is through the draft imo, you'll always have people going towards bigger markets but atleast this way you have a chance for them to be a part of the organization first

i like what philly is doing by sacrificing success right now for a dynastic future, they'll have a stacked team based on draft picks, atleast for the first year & if they do well, no player is going to a leave a team thats loaded with talent

doesnt matter how much experience you get in the playoffs if u keep losing in the second or first round cus ur team isnt built to beat the top seeded teams i.e portland

Re: Thoughts on "Tanking"??

they met to discuss ways to eliminate it last season, hopefully they give all lottery teams the same chance of getting the #1 pick and dont give the worse teams more balls nh

another way to get rid of nba purgatory (which theyll never do) is to have a best of 3 and best of 5 for the 1st two series, would be a lot more upsets. better teams win best of 7 90% of the time

knicks got the number four pick but they will do something stupid again and trade for a quick fix

They have been trying to get Cousins but they should build from the draft

Kings fired the coach who damn near got them off on one of the best starts in the Western Conference

Once they fired their head coach the team went to shit, same with the Nuggets

The Kings then fired even more coaches but this Russian faggot has his pride and won't apologize for his fuck up within the organization

Cousins will leave the minute he hits free agency and i don't blame him when the head ups don't know what the fuck there doing
