Completely agree. Tanking obviously isn’t a guarantee, but it significantly increases your chances at top-4 pick, something this franchise desperately needs. Selecting 7-12 usually gets you a role player. Of course there are exceptions to this (Kawhi, Giannis, etc.), but this is usually the norm. And in a season where the Spurs are clearly nowhere near contending for anything, it makes no sense to finish with the 10th pic or somewhere around there.
This front office should know better by now. They’re literally only relevant because they tanked twice and were rewarded David Robinson and Tim Duncan for it. But no, they’re so caught up in their own ego and Pop’s record that they don’t give a .
