If something does happen, its what Cuban gets for bitching about everything. He brought it on himself.
But yeah they aint doing nothing imo

Oooh, I have an idea. Let them keep the 10th pick but make it not lottery eligible and distribute the odds to the remaining teams. Mavs would try to sue but I don't think a case on that kind of hypothetical would work. Mavs then would be inclined to trade the pick for a win now piece (KO, THT?, Clarkson??).
This would scare the jeebus out of future tanking teams.

I mean just give the ****ing pick to NY unprotected and if its Wemby , Cuban will have to sell the team smh
yeah they are not going to do anything to destroy the Mavs even if its owner is a soapbox for sale

Cuban has been fined for this before, my opinion is that this should be very harsh
The Spurs have been so egregiously tanking all season, I'm not sure how you punish the Mavs.
But that’s inconsequential to the Jazz right?
Definitely not. It has everything to do with us. We play the Lakers and where the Timberwolves land in the play-in game will dictate where our pick is after it’s all said and done.
So I was told by someone here where the Twolves finished at the end of the season is where the lottery odds are locked in.. the play-in results doesn’t make a difference.
The play-in result makes a difference IF THEY MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. If they don't get through the play-in then it reverts back to regular season as the basis for pick order.
Wolves pick could swing between like 13 and 17 depending on how things play out tomorrow and in the subsequent play-in.
Ok that’s the clearest explanation I’ve had.. thanks..

fair enough, so what happens to all the other teams resting starters this week? I guess the Commish can fine everyone and call it a day. You cannot hand down anythiung substantial to the Mavs without doing the same to everyone else, not in all fairness. It is not like those MF were winning with that pairing anyway. Resting them might have increased their odds to win smh

So you think the pick would be the same whether the twolves make the actual playoffs or dont make the playoffs? Of course the play in matters for our pick.
No I was told the result of the play in is inconsequential.. nevemind Numerica cleared it up.
Are the other teams going on record to say their tanking? Will the other teams have to give up their draft pick if they don't tank? Hard to say a team is tanking vs injury management if they don't explicitly say they are tanking. I think it would be funny if the NBA awarded the Knicks their pick. Even better, since the Jazz did the NBA a big favor by making the Lakers better with a sweetheart trade, if their Wolves pick ends up in the lottery, they magically draw that ball into the top 3, effectively bumping the Mavs pick out of the top 10.
