    Some have wanted this; others like me have been a bit dismissive of it. Tell me what you think we're going to get out of it. In the first place, how well could this team tank? Seems to me that we wouldn't even have that great of a chance of cracking the top ten in the draft...

    What we'll get out of it?

    Pride.

    Honor.

    Glory.

    Enthusiasm!

    The quiet satisfaction of a job well done.

    Confidence.

    Conflict resolution.

    Spiritual enlightenment.

    New insights.

    Deeper understandings.

    Closure.

    To name just a few.

    In the first place, how well could this team tank?
    If they really tried they could tank like Jesus Christ on a Harley Davidson.

    Seems to me that we wouldn't even have that great of a chance of cracking the top ten in the draft...
    We could make that draft our , just like you-know-who owned you-know-what.

    Highly doubtful this team would not get at least 28 wins even with tanking. We have to many vets who are here to win ball games.

    We don't have to tank, clearly. Our inability to defend the paint or 3-point line (last night not withstanding) will lose games for us.

    What do we get?

    Hopefully a big man that actually plays in and defends the paint or an athletic 6'7 - 6'8 wing that can shoot the 3 without having to be wide open for 3 seconds first.

    The people that want to tank also have no faith in front office if they did get a top 5-10 pick

    We have tanked before so don’t get your panties all wound up for those of us
    who just want to tank THIS season. In case you don’t remember we got Timmy from tanking.

    This draft is loaded with solid players that will fall somehwere between 10-15. We don’t need a top five pick tank job, but this season is obviously lost with murray out. There’s nothing to gain by not tanking. Ideally we secure another promising prospect in the draft to grow with Dejaunte and Lonnie.

    With D-Rob and Elliot out. It's not like LMA and DeRozan are out.

    Done properly, tanking would involve getting rid of LMA.

    No reason to tank with Derozan looking like a good fit. They can probably be a 50 win team next season with Murray back.

    are you an idiot? Have you not seen zion?? Hes way better than lebron when he came out of college, hes a beast..will be a next hybrid lebron/shaq. So YES tank for zion .....yeah the front office can put a team together..but a championship team you need a super star and 1-2 stars. Zion is THAT and some...if you haven't watched any of the duke games you have no idea what your talking about. 61,000 posts and comes with a rebuttal "when did duke ever produce a star?" lol Its about a rare gem bro.

    Nobody even talks names of who they want for tanking. I think it's a half-ass idea by board trolls at this point.

    the same PATFO slurpers always arguing against tanking would be slurping Zion the next decade if Spur managed to draft him tbh
