The reason for tanking is not to get a high draft pick via lottery, it is to keep their only 1st round pick. If they perform too well, Denver get’s the Warriors draft pick. Slot 1-7…Warriors keep the pick. Slot 8+…Denver gets the pick. So tanking will guarantee one thing, the Warriors will get a top 7 pick.

Like the stupid Bulls getting Derrick Rose, when they didn’t even have the worst record at all. The lottery is a load of crap and it needs to be gotten rid of. No other pro sports league does this.

The worst team in the NBA drafts no lower than 4th

Bogut should definitely sit for the duration. Beidrins should start and play 40 minutes a game. Stephen Jackson should pretend to have a locker room meltdown so they can blame some losses on “chemistry”. Let the tanking begin!!, however blatant that may be. They owe it to their fans to do whatever it takes, fair or unfair, to win after so many years of disappointment.

Tanking in the NBA is no guarantee of your position come draft time, the way it is with the NFL. You can tank all you want, have a Bobcats-like record and still end up selecting 5th or 6th.
