What.... I said tanking and rebuilding and bottoming out are all basically synonymous. You also said no team traded all stars to get worse turned out well. When you rebuild you tear **** down... sell stuff off... for stuff with future value... and if you lose much more that's great because we will reload. Boston won 25 games in the Wiggins draft year... sold off Green Rondo and whatever else they could to do so... that is ****ing tanking. They sold off their damn coach for hells sake. They were intentionally bad and drafted well at the top of the damn draft.Truth and facts? Lol man.
Your definition of "tank" is my definition of "rebuild". Boston did plenty of rebuilding. That's what you do to maximize assets.
Like I said before and I stand by it....
GS didn't tank until they had already drafted Curry and Klay.
Boston never really tanked. They just were awful then drafted well.
San Antonio tanked one time but only because they had major injuries.
The only thing I would add is that GS tanked again to get Wiseman. TBD on if that pays off. But yeah, Boston never tanked. They just rebuilt and rebuilt so well even when they failed in the Kyrie and Kemba experiments.
And however you label it how is it different than what I am proposing... Boston sold off assets were bad for a year or two and used those assets to build a contender. I am saying we should sell off assets be bad for a year or two and hopefully hit on the picks to build a contender.
You are just flat out wrong. Tanking, rebuilding, selling off assets to bottom out... they are all the same thing. Teams that win by understanding the NBA circle of life win far more often than teams that get lucky by nailing a pick in the mid first round.
