True. I guess in that sense they definetely arent tanking.

My point was just that Rudy Gay does not play a winning style of basketball, but yeah you don't take on that type of contract to intentionally lose.

.... unless they're thinking about next year when they get Randle to pair with Cousins. This could be a "sick" lineup for them next year:

Cousins
Randle
Gay
McLemore
Thomas

Athletic. Rebounds. Finish. Dunks. Shooting.
 
Toronto joining the tank.

Word is they are looking to trade their starting pg Kyle Lowry.

New Raptors front-office boss Masai Ujiri has managed to trade away Andrea Bargnani and now Gay over the past six months to create financial flexibility going forward and -- with Toronto apparently determined to avoid any accidental success in the Atlantic Division -- is said to be happy to surrender veteran point guard Kyle Lowry next.

The priority in Toronto is clearly finishing as high as possible in the lottery with Canadian sensation Andrew Wiggins and several other top prospects expected to be available to teams picking at the top of the June draft. Lowry is in the final year of his contact at an affordable $6.2 million and believed to be eminently available because he's not part of Toronto's future plans. ESPN.com

This is good for Utah's tank. Just one more team that will suck it out with the East. Crabs in bucket out east while Utah just enjoys the hardest schedule while being unnoticed and unmentioned. Perfect.

Huh?

Masai is far-and-beyond the best thing to have ever happened to the Raptors over the past 10 years. He might even outshine Vince Carter @ this rate.

Is it better to be unnoticed? Our excuse is then that we simply suck, not that we are willfully losing. If this is the case, can one player really change the future of the franchise?

Toronto is the 9th seed out East. They were trying. Now they are going to be right int he mix of Philly, Milwuakee, Orlando, Cleveland...they will all pick up wins agaisnt each other. The more teams in the east fighting for that goal the more they will limit each other with accidental wins.
 
There is going to be such a log jam at the bottom. Utah should start trading for coin flips before other GMs realize the value.
 
Calling my shot now, we finish with the 2nd-worst record in the league. I don't think we can quite match Milwaukee's ineptitude over 82 games.

Milwaukee is already missing Larry Saunders (pins in his fist, uh...I mean hand) and The corpse of Caron Butler and Gary Neal. Today they learned Zaza Pachulia has a stress fracture in his foot...out at least a month.

They are series about their tank.

I think Milwaukee is unstoppable.

Still not convinced If our tank tbh

Not sure if really injured or if they're pulling the injury wildcard already early in the season.
Also interested if the Grizzlies join the tank with Gasol out and now Pondexter out for the season.
 
Told you Grizzlies acting suspicious:
Ed Davis (ankle sprain) is out and Tony Allen(sore hip) is questionable...
