It’s impossible to police, there are always injuries that players could play through but won’t and will be used to tank.
It’s a négociations issue, Spurs should’ve done a better job. Props to Masai
GO RAPS !

Did DAL end up getting any kind of punishment last year?
On one hand, it's anti-compe ive to tank like this, but on the other hand... it's not like they are the only team tanking. Whether it is to protect your pick or to increase your lotto odds... tankin' is still tankin'. I think the league needs to implement some kind of anti-tanking measures overall. I like the idea of reducing your lotto odds for repeated appearances at the bottom. That could also work for a team like TOR... 3 straight years in the bottom 6, and the third year the pick can be no better than 7th.
This is not looking good.
nets losing too, and grizzlies currently down as well. but man, losing to detroit?
These clowns aren't winning another game
expect raptors to do next year as well.They been sitting players purposely last few
games already.
After what Portland did a couple of years in a row (sitting Dame for an extended period of time when even he said he was able to play) and Dallas (with the most egregious tank job ever in their last game vs the Spurs where they didn't even bother giving an excuse as to why they sat their best players), there's ZERO chance the NBA does anything. Toronto tanking is a foregone conclusion at this point, we have to hope Portland does as usual to keep their 5th place and that would still give the Spurs a decent chance to keep the pick, though not that which we all expected.
In all honesty, fate ed us over, they tried not to tank for a long time, but after both Poeltl and Barnes went down there was just no way around it. On the other hand, if it does convey we might just thread the needle, hopefully not for the next Primo though.
If we only get one pick this year and use it on RISACHER or TOPIC
Thats the thing tho,Poeltl is always injured.The last few years hes been missed several games each year.
Guy is injury prone.Expect this same next year.
That makes sense. The bigots here usually have horrid basketball takes. The stupidity transcends all aspects.
For sure. There’s zero chance the raptors are not tanking next year
Too bad the Spurs couldn't have negotiated an anti-tank measure, like successive years where the pick gets successively less protected, like top 6 year 1, top 4 year 2, top 2 year three, etc.
Hard to expect anti-tanking measures when they can't even police flopping. Just saying.
Getting rid of Tanking is stupid. Bad teams need a good shot at getting good players otherwise they'll be bad forever (see Sacramento, Suns, Charlotte, Pistons, etc). As long as GOOD teams aren't losing on purpose I don't see the problem. Stomache one bad season as a fan so you can have hope (like we did)
scoot is so bad lol
Everybody needs to chill...
1. It may be better for us, if they finish 6th...this giving us a better chance of optimizing the pick.
2. It may be better to have this pick another year (with better drafts).
3. They may jump into the top4 anyway (and like with our Houston coin flip and combinations, that could happen from No7 while No6 slides down)
4. It was kind of a free pick anyway.
5. There are two more years, where we might get it...and if youplay with the draft sim, you get a feeling for even 4th worst teams sliding down to 7th. With Barnes I don't see them beeing bottom 3 for two more years.
6. We are the luckiest franchise when it comes down to drafting, no matter what happens over the next 30 years.
That said...it's all fun to look at other teams just because we own their pick, but nobody should panic or have a bad day because Toronto lost / Memphis won etc.
Yeah, but it’s not like years of tanking has helped those teams get any better either. How long have the Pistons been tanking? When will it end?
disaster
............
hope so buddy
I swear if I read another post that says "hard tank" again, I'm gonna go Milton/Office Space. Please just stfu.
So are we hard tanking or not...maybe it's like a mid chub tank, semi flaccid?
Should have known better than to think the team with Grady wouldn't Hard Tank
