    Most of the guys on the team are playing for next year. If they dog it now, they may not get as many opportunities next season.

    I think it's hard tanking an NBA season without making it look obvious. It's not like the NFL, you can't just miss one game winning field goal, and act like you choked.

    Somewhere, in an alternate universe, this statement might not be incredibly stupid.
