Ben did Drummond ask out? Everything I saw said he wanted to stay and was surprised by the trade. And if you want out you don't want out to Cleveland.
and the Pistons are doing the very definition of tanking. They traded or cut everyone they could that was making money to set up for a rebuild. By ridding yourself of all NBA -level talent you are trying to lose as an organization. I disagree with your definition of tanking. It's not throwing game s, which the players could do; tanking is more at the whole organization level, not the individual player level.
I guess it's obvious you (and others) understand the meaning of "tanking" different, but still, tanking only means "losing in purpose"...
Putting together a young core of rookies and young talent and through them into fire, is not tanking... it's accelerating their development, you still want them to do their best and win (if they can).
