    Barring any trade, I really don't believe spurs will be in the play in contention, and that, giving the nature of next year's draft and the fact Victor made his point last year (winning ROTY) and will continue to do so next season, it will be easier to buy him into tanking the last part of the season, even eventually shutthing him down a little after a busy olympic summer.

    If you saw the end game videos for the Knicks and Nuggets, Wemby throwing one ball into the stands and ing the other one about 20 feet into the air there’s no way this man buys into another tank. He burns to win, any game every game.

    The number of teams tanking by season’s end may make it very hard to have a handle on how good or bad more teams than that actually are.

    Most of the hardcore tankers are in the east - Nets, Wiz, Pistons for sure. Then Hornets, Bulls, Raptors in the next tier. That's only 12 games on the Spurs schedule. Notwithstanding injury, in the west it's really only Portland and maybe Utah, who will at least be marginally compe ive as long as Markkanen is there. There aren't going to be many free wins in the western conference.

    Those east win totals at the bottom of the standings are going to be a little bloated because all the tankers are going to have to play each other multiple times. Somebody has got to win. It's going to be challenging to have that multiple teams lose 60 games. If you want to bet some over win totals, I would invest heavily in upper middle class eastern teams. Orlando, Cleveland, Indiana and Miami are going to have a lot of gimmes on their schedule. I hate to say it, but maybe even Atlanta puts up a better number than people think.

    No free wins in the West, but that applies to everyone.
    We're obvbiously not a playoff team as of now, but Wemby is a bad matchup for a lot of teams.
    They won't prepare as much for us in regular season and we can get wins against everyone.

    On paper Minnesota is the worst matchup for Wemby and he still averaged 20/11/4 with 3 blocks in 4 games against them.
    Won only one, but every loss was in single digits.

    Wemby played in 16 losses by 16 or more points, only 2 were after the all-star break.
    We improved dramatically even before those final few weeks.

    Other than Minnesota, no team in the West has an elite rim protector and long wings around him.
    Grizzlies will be an interesting matchup with Edey and JJJ, I guess.

    East has a lot of teams that are well-equipped to deal with Wemby.
