    If you lose, you don't get paid. Winners get the cut of your salary.

    There's nothing he can really do publicly except for lowering draft pick odds even lower.

    I agree that it looks bad, but it's currently the best way to improve your team.

    It's not the players who tank. It's management.

    If the team didn't get money when losing, they might think twice.

    Well, the Rockets are not tanking on purpose. Their coach just sucks.

    KG - Paul Pierce - Ray Allen, made a bad example in front of all players in summer of 2007, and the league kept an blind eye on those three forming a super team to manipulate the 2007-2008 championship contending.
    After that, Lebron followed the suit…the league lose control of the whole situation, since then it became a superstars' league, rules based order broken.

    dunt relegate, no use crying over spilled milk

    That would be chaos. Who would want to play for a bad team? Someone has to be bad even if they all play their best. Think squid games - nobody really wanted to die.
