But it's not an act with the parrot is it?
Thread getting crushed,,,,
But it's not an act with the parrot is it?
I am, Cub. How do the Spurs keep doing it? Finding these unknowns and unheraldeds and assimilating them into the system? No need to tank when you're smarter than everyone else
That tanking is a huge disrespect to the fans, is not very motivating to buy season tickets to see phily and lakers doing that cheap disgusting thing.
That's a different but similar version of my proposal - which I agree with. It should be simple.
There should be a relegation system tbh
They definitely tanked in 2011-12, I remember Jeremy Tyler playing 40 minutes a night to end the season.
In fairness it looks like his office was instrumental in getting new management in Philly. If you don't have systemic change then it needs to come from the ownership. The 76ers were just sold were they not?
So if you're the 8-seed do you try to maintain so you can get your teeth kicked in by Golden State in four, or do you tank to drop to the 9 seed and draft Simmons?
I guess the question is two-fold: would you rather make the playoffs, get your guys that experience while making the playoff money and get the 15th pick or get the best odds at the first pick (where it's not even guaranteed)?
Also, good luck coaching guys to win all year then telling players to shut it down the last 2 games of the season.
There might be some jockeying for the nine seed via coaching, via cutting players, via re ed trade deadline deals, and so on. I'd much rather see bad teams tank than middle of the road teams. I still think a straight lottery is the best. If you have a rough season you're probably going to get a good pick, but no one is even thinking of missing the playoffs just to draft #7. If you're truly horrible you're probably not going to land that A+ talent that can turn your team around by himself, so you have lots of incentive to try to have a better year the next season.
You know how hard it would be to functionally tank in my system? Many times it comes down to the last game of the season to determine 8th seeds. You'd have to win enough alllll year long just to even have the shot to throw 2-4 games max at the end of the year IMO.
You had no problem setting the mark with Robinson. You've nary in' room.
You talked Diaw & Jackson into quitting on their teams and come and not quit on your team. Congratulations. You must be so proud.I am, Cub. How do the Spurs keep doing it?

I've seen some terrible ideas but this is without a doubt the worst one. If things worked out this way the Spurs would be without Parker and Leonard and light 3 les. This doesn't reward good FOs at all.
One solution is to start reducing the odds of getting top picks for teams who already had them. Team A gets 1 pick? Next year they should have a 0% chance at the top pick even if they were 0-82.
Teams who are continuously at the bottom of the rankings despite getting top picks every year don't deserve to keep getting said picks.
Of course I'm not against bad teams getting help with high draft picks after having a bad season or two, but teams who continuously try to milk the system by putting ty/low salary teams on the court need to be blocked from benefitting every year.
I dislike that one tbh. It just encourages and rewards teams for tanking harder early then trying late. So the new "meta" is to lose as many as possible until you get eliminated, then trying hard. Meanwhile teams who try all season but can't get over the hump are still shafted. It doesn't really address tanking at all, merely the last month or so of the season would be more interesting while the first 3-4 will have more "pointless games with obvious outcomes".
The game isn't perfect, and it's never going to be where every game on the schedule is compe ive in the regular season. If you don't have the scouts or development team in place, you can't just go out and buy them because you cannot identify them. Even if you do both, you have to know they can work together, then know that your players can be coached. There's no objective indicator for that, you have to be able to read people.
Damn, Dale getting abused since coming back. Sad really. Following in Kobe's footsteps and embarrassing himself.
cubby used to be somebody, but ever since his boy went out in four he has become senile and bitter.
Yet another stupid ass comment from a stupid ass.
I'll buy that.
I don't hide my .
It's my religion.
You do hide in it though. You're relentless about building a fortress of talk to hide within to avoid the truth of the situation, and only on occasion will you venture outside those walls.
Cite it.
