That´s exactly the point @"Mavs2021" made. Tanking doesn´t mean that you don´t need to pay. Smarter owners/GMs swallow bad contracts to collect future assets. Not to mention that the Mavs didn´t enter those seasons with the intention to tank. They never added picks or young players. The veteran cast simply wasn´t good enough.
