Tanking is tricky.
Our Mavs did it for a year or two and it paid off, but only because they lucked into a generational player. If the prize had been two DSJ level guys, they'd be probably still be tanking, but not by choice.
I think it makes sense when you do it for an extremely short stint every once in a while, like Golden State this year or when the Spurs got Tim Duncan.
But yeah, the Philly thing was kind of ridiculous. Still, I would rather have seen Hinkie get the chance to see the process through, if only for entertainment.
