Divac seldom gets on the phone for the trade-building parts

The real story here is that Hannah apparently has no idea what a moose looks like.

Solve the tanking problem by making the draft lottery an actual lottery. It’ll stop the tanking craze completely.

Fucking Christ, you’re so right.

It’s the New York Open they probably hear worse from their mothers.

I think that we can all agree that the Knicks suck. As a Knicks fan. I am sure that they will suck at tanking. They will probably end up beating the Warriors (if they played them again) to ensure that they would worsen the odds of getting a higher pick. That is what happened last year. Knicks are gonna knick.

The Knicks are an Anthony Bennett away from 10th place.

Mudiay is going to become the guy Denver was hoping for when they drafted him.

Knicks will go on a streak as a result of his sudden transformation.

Upon being relegated to the #11 pick, Mudiay will return to his butt form that made his dispensable in the first place.

He will then be traded for peanuts/cut, sign with a…

You might be on to something. To keep some competitive balance, maybe the non-playoff teams get two balls in the hopper instead of one or something. But yeah, the only way you eliminate tanking is by eliminating the incentive to tank completely.

Hey man, they’re my Knicks too. But they never tank when they should.

Why not just have a completely random draft order every year? 32 balls in the drum, pull out the first one and there’s your number one pick. Bad teams shouldn’t be rewarded for tanking, and mediocre teams shouldn’t be punished for actually trying to win games.

How healthy can a league be when 30% of the league is actively trying to be bad as possible?

I can’t blame them. It is a copycat league.

Counterpoint: they are the Knicks.

It’s all the excitement of a relegation battle, but without the dignity or pride.

As someone who could not give 2 shits about the actual fate of the team I’m going to respectfully disagree with you on the Bulls. With LaVine back in action they have a pretty nice little core of high energy young talent with LaVine, Lauri, Portis, and Dunn (who is not butt) once he’s back. They’re 17-18 (not…

You can eliminate the Knicks from this list. They’re too fucking dumb to tank properly.

When two of these teams play, they should switch sides of the court so the teams are shooting at the wrong basket. Then they could play a normal basketball game, except the winner would actually be the loser.

Worst run league of the major 4. David Stern helped usher in this stupidity.

I figured that’s where they were going with that, especially since the doors opening in tight clearance was a major selling point.
