    OTOH blatant tanking worked out pretty well for SEA/OKC, Golden State, and even the Spurs. That's why teams try it.
    The highest pick they got was 6, and they drafted Ekpe Udoh The next highest picks were two 7s, which they used to draft Curry and Harrison Barnes, the latter of which isn't even all that important. After Curry, Draymond was their most important draft pick and he went number 35. Even Klay was only an 11th overall pick. The Spurs were longshots to win the lottery that year. Even so, the Spurs only have one ring if not for the Manu, Parker, and Leonard draft picks, which weren't gotten through tanking. OKC is really the only outlier.

    Multiyear tanking rarely works because it stunts the development of your youth (by putting them in bad situations, bad systems, alongside washed up vets in paycheck mode, and under bad coaches) and typically prevents any kind of chemistry and team iden y from developing since assets are continually moved and coaches continually fired and hired.

    Multiple lottery picks is what built Golden State into the team they are. They drafted smarter than teams like Minnesota, but the end result was years of terrible basketball built a potential dynasty.

    The only time they really seemed to tank was when they threw the season to draft Barnes, since I think they'd have had to trade their pick if it dropped one lower.

    Multiyear tanking worked for the Rockets though.

    mid want the Purple and Gold "food stamps, NOW eh?" We ain't paying one luxury taxed penny until next year son. Neal with it.
    You don't get it. You think I'm mad because you think I fear the Lakers developing a "future."

    Tell me how Randle and Russell are supposed to develop playing under one of the worst coaches in NBA history, alongside ball dominant and chucking vets (Kobe, Lou Williams, Nick Young), and as, of now, bench players (a move that either done to increase those two's trade value [which it won't] or to further ensure the tank)? How is that supposed to attract free agents? Or create a situation in which you're next high draft pick will flourish? OKC is the only team in NBA history that pulled it somewhat off. I remember when the early 90's Mavericks did it (might've been the first franchise to employ tanking as a multiyear plan), and drafted Jim Jackson, Jamal Mashburn, and Jason Kidd in consecutive years. It didn't work. They didn't even get good assets in return (Jim Jackson brought Shawn Bradley , Mashburn brought Kurt Thomas, and Kidd brought Michael Finley, not bad, but not equal value, even with all the other piece included). The biggest move in that franchise's history was done through smart FO work, trading Tractor Traylor for Dirk.

    This why multiyear tanking plans don't work. You draft these talented blue chippers and then purposely put them in a ty situation that is designed to fail in which they learn absolutely nothing and could even regress. You ever see Jerry West order a multiyear tank?

    I'll take it. I feared it forever. And now I'm living it. Just about every in' fear I've ever had has come to fruition. Now 3/4 in I'm squarin' off with the original fear.

    They never tanked. Bad teams don't always tank. They smartly developed their youth by actually letting them try to win and surrounding their best draft pick with complementary pieces.
