These same podcasts didnt rank any of our players of any worth at the start of the year. They left Key off of their list of top 35 under 25 completely. They can collectively screw themselves.
As far as tanking goes we have given very few minutes to players that won't be a part of our future (I assume we are bringing Nurk back.) We have actuslly won games because of it. Even the last game we weren't throwing g leaguers out there and almost won because of it.
It would be hard to find a team in the history of the NBA that didnt limit their success to make sure a pick didnt convey if things were close. Additionally, it has been pretty accepted to develop talent after the trade deadline if the playoffs aren't happening.
That is why I am not upset about not going dirty from day one. We played it pretty mainstream with previous league examples to back us up. We are pretty untouchable this year, and next year tanking won't matter.
