We have two botched tanks in the last decade and still came away with DSJ (used to acquire Porzingis) + Luka+Brunson in these scenarios. Compare that to our other results in free agency and trades, it would seem a lot more bizarre to continue with our current strategies.
Anyway we don´t need to tank, we´ll just keep losing with the current team and end up in the lottery anyway. If it wasn´t for that dumb play-in tournament that makes 66% of the league "play-off" teams, I´d be pretty confident this team would be headed straight toward the ping pong ballls.
Yes...when we tanked we got high lottery picks...I'm sure Luka is eager to celebrate us drafting in the top 10.
No one said anything about losing with the current team. Tanking (in theory) did it's job, we got our franchise guy and got his running mate (tried at least), you don't tank after that, you eventually try to win. Call me crazy, but considering we have one of the best 5 players in the world, I'm ok with us trying to win.
Side note, why are your apostrophes always different?
