No team wins a chip in the NBA by doing this half and half.
I disagree. No way to know how players a team drafts will end up.
You can get players like jokic and Giannis and kawhi, and jimmy butler in drafts without tanking.
You can get guys like Michael Bennet, olawakandi, bargnani, Eddy curry etc by tanking.
I don't remember huge back to back to back tanking seasons resulting in top 3 picks from Denver or the bucks but they both have recent championships.
The warriors dynasty didn't have any top 3 picks on it from what I recall. They kind of half assed some tanks. (I think curry was like #6 and we might end up with #8 this year. Not a huge difference. Plus we could use some of our warchest of picks to move up)
Basically there are lots of ways to win championships and all of them require lots of luck.
In fact, when I look at recent NBA champs I'm not seeing lots of big time tankers.
Having said all that, I agree that it's better to tank from the beginning of the season to get the best pick possible rather than waiting until mid season.
