The nba still rewards tanking with good draft picks and the potential franchise players are taken with the good draft picks. You do what you gotta do to ultimately be better in the future. Strategic tanking with a competent gm can do wonders for an organization.
Based on the way how this club has been running in the last a few seasons, I do not think it really matters whether we tank or not.
That wouldn't solve anything. What the NBA should do is have a football like salary cap. People want to tank because the only way you can compete anymore is to have a super team which is nearly impossible for 90% of the league. There is no parity in this league (but I guess you could argue there never has been). And the playoffs are too damn long. But that's another discussion for another time.
