[The Q]

I really don’t like that.

Not all #1s are built the same.

I get it

Need to stop teams like the spurs who don’t deserve these guys from getting them

Playing for it, putting money on the table for current players and the top picks for teams is a good move Imo

Plus you can limit teams sitting guys by making them ineligible for the tourney if they don’t play enough games

However, allowing teams to pick and choose which firsts they target is basically supporting tanking, which the NBA is trying to prevent.

The problem isn't the Spurs so much as the repeated tankers over periods of time. You're way too salty about the Spurs.

Latest On Joel Embiid, James Harden

The James Harden chaos hasn't changed Joel Embiid's mind about wanting to play in Philadelphia, but he sent a message …

I’m curious how this rule affects harden when they made an agreement to be an optin and trade

Mecca’s fave.

Up at 4.45am, head home at 11pm: life as an NBA player trying to break through

Jason Preston could barely get a game in high school, and now he is a member of the LA Clippers. Staying there requires incredible amounts of hard work

Schedule release in 2 hours.

The 3 main things i look for my team when the schedule is released

1. Number of national tv games
2. First month/last month schedule to see if they can start and end well
3. Longest road trip/home stand

Nah.

It isn’t that hard.

Your team sucks, they get a better pick.

Tanking is not nearly the problem people try to make it.

Right?

The Spurs have tanked less often than almost every other franchise in the last 35 years.

Yeah, the biggest problem with tanking is the convoluted nonsense the NBA uses to try to stop it.

i like what they tried to do

Nah, the problem is that regardless of what the league does, teams still openly tank.

 

[bksballer89]

My only issue with tanking is bad teams resting their players so early in the season

 

[bksballer89]
