With Wiggins and Parker expected to be in next year's draft, which teams do you expect to tank, tbh?..

The Bobcats will tank unintentionally.

Its not worth it unless you're really bad so Charlotte, Orlando, New Orleans, and the Lakers off the top of my head.

Kings will tank for sure. New owner, new franchise player is needed. I am not sure about Bucks, what they will sort issues with Jennings and Ellis. Of course Orlando, Charlotte, wouldnt be surprised if Boston since they are done. Definately Hawks.
On west - Suns, Pelicans, Dallas if they fall short on signing new guys.

OKC, Heat, Pacers, Memphis, Knicks, Nets, Spurs, Rockets, Warriors Denver, Bulls wont tank. Utah, Lakers, Wizards should tank, but they wont.

The Lakers.

Do they even have a 2014 First round pick? Or did they give it up for N:lolsh?

dallas ain't gonna tank imho. they're still a playoff team if dirk stays healty and plays at least 3/4 of the season (as he usually did through previous seasons). Pelicans will probably tank another year because they still lack a franchise player. bobcats can fight the best they can and still finish at bottom of the league so it doesn't matter they tank or not, the result will be always be the same imho

We all know the lakers will get the 1st pick next year. Everybody is just tanking to draft 2nd

I expect the Pelicans to be on the list. They really don't have much to build on for an improvement.

They need a PG. Vasquez and Rivers aren't starting material and never will be.

They're too dependent on Eric Gordon as the SG. Not reliable.

They need a SF big time.

They're fine at PF with Davis and Anderson.

They're lacking a center who can defend and rebound. Robin Lopez does neither. Davis isn't strong enough yet to play center full-time.

They have cap room, but I don't see them signing an impact guy.

Teams know Stern can fix the lottery, so tanking is possible, but does not guarantee the 1st pick...as Jordan!

Shameful when Pelicans had #1 and #10 last year yet they still need to tank for wiggins or parker. :lmao

I'm assuming we're talking about teams that are likely to make the playoffs next season. Teams that are just bad don't have to try to tank.

I'd agree with the Lakers, but I don't see them doing it intentionally. Even though it would mean sucking in one of Kobe's final seasons, getting a premier wing player like Wiggins or Parker would be huge for the Lakers going forward, especially post-Kobe.

The Utah Jazz. Trade or let go Jefferson and Milsap, develop Kanter, Favors and Hayward and play scrubs around them to assure them a top 2 pick.

No team can assure a top 2 pick because of the lottery. Best you can assure your team is a top 4 pick.

You know what I meant. Lose as much as you can, tbh.

if we win the championship, i would love to tank the next year tbh (sounds weird but yeah). If we'd tank, we'd be granted the number 1 seed and with a wiggins, green, leonard, splitter core, we'd be set for years to come.

otherwise, the lakers should tank (that is, if they have their next pick :lol), other than that there are many young teams that suck and should start winning instead.

If we win the championship I think it's safe to say that everyone can die in peace. :lol
