14th Tank Platoon

I can't see it. They wouldn't have went out and spent all that money on decent veterans like Hickson and Robinson - almost up to the luxury tax - if the plan was to tank. They would have went with ancient relics and D league stuff like we did, and got some picks in return.

I think you need to look deeper at this. And obv I may overanalyze/interpret that situation. But by signing them you sell the crowd you want to win -> more ticket revenue.
Then with the current situation there's going to be a lot luxury tax payout. I can't find good numbers, but those I find suggest it's $87M for Brooklyn, $33M for New York, $12M for Chicago, $20M for the Heat and $11M for the Lakers. So adding that up gives us $163M, of which 50% is distributed to the non tax paying teams. $81.5M / 25 gives each team more than $3M, which would compensate for more than Nate's contract.
They lost Iggy and if they didn't add players that'd have left their fanbase sceptic I guess. They probably knew that Gallo was out and so they anticipated that slow start. Even if they get him and Chandler back, their lack of traningscamp and playing time will net them some rust losses. And once they're too far out of the race they'll pull the trigger and celebrate the tank. Whoever they add inside the top10 would make them competitive on all nights. But that's only what I see ;)
 
Another GREAT day for the tank. Denver is tanking hard and it seems we could have won the game - we looked like we could have won it early, but then faded quickly in the 2nd half.


That's exactly what we needed to do.

Not all teams operate with a huge master plan. Denver is one of the teams that doesn't.

GSW Pick: 11th-(4-3) .571 [21st]

Note: Later in the season I will include 7 from each conference(lotto teams) until there are more games I will just do the league as a whole.

Go Jazz.

Best tank job ever.

Woohoo
 
But a full 3 losses away from the next closest team. Jazz are dominating in the "tank" category.


Haha well, you know what they say: "Whatever you do, do it well." Or, "So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth." (terrible translation, I know).

Parker would be my 1st pick randle 2nd. Wiggins is a highlight reel for sure but the other two blew my socks off. I don't see wiggins becoming Kobe or Jordan. Don't get me wrong he'll be an awesome NBA player but I think randle and parker will be more productive.
