    I was team tank from day one, but it often doesn’t work, as there are multiple examples of teams that have been tanking for years and have very little to show for it. This franchise has just been unfathomably lucky in the 3 years we did tank. It’s insane tbh. To say we’re extremely fortunate is an understatement. Now it’s just about Wemby’s health. It all rides on that. Gotta find a way to keep this kid healthy.

    I still get a chuckle when I remember people arguing against tanking because of some hypothetical "culture" hit and the entertainment value of going after the play in...

    Was angry when they traded all-star Murray for 3 draft picks...

    But now it was actually they traded Murray for 3 draft picks + Wemby

    This tank was perfectly executed and ai hope we are still in the lottery next year. Any conspiracist Spurs fan who thinks the NBA is out to get the Spurs is brain dead.

    Tanking works when you tank for Victor Wembanyama. Not always!

    Yeah but it's not always the case it just happen that the #1 pick fell to the Spurs this year.
    Since the odds has been changed since 2019, worst record team haven't won the #1 pick and there's atleast 1 or 2 teams with a 14% odds dropping from the Top 3.

    I mean, for sure tanking works if you luck into a generational player, with 0.43% chance to do so in the grand scheme of things.

    And they’ve been in the bottom 3 teams the last two years. Some payoff. You have to tank in the right season, and more important, you have to buck those 86% odds of losing.

    This was the year to tank. You just gotta be smart about it. You don’t take when there isn’t generational talent available. Also there are a lot of people here calling out others and trying to get them to eat crow when they themselves were anti-tank. I get it I guess. Years of being wrong and now they are feeling themselves a bit.

    If they were in the play-in race down the stretch that was a material threat.

    I don’t believe the lottery is rigged. But where do you put a 19 yrs old International player, still his body needs to be developed somewhat, and the best prospect in 20 years? It has to be the Spurs. I like to think that the Spurs had a wink wink deal, if they could get the records in the bottom 3 without being too obvious, then the NBA would take care of the rest.
