Rudy Gobert | “We just witnessed the end of tanking” :what:

[ISO]

is this nikka talking about?

The Knicks, Bulls, Hawks, Cavs, and Suns were genuinely bad, young teams. Zion would have been a much better career fit for any of those teams.

The Pelicans and Lakers made it in the top 4 as two teams that underachieved and by the end of the season were tanking. LeBron James was shut down and by the end of the season even the young guys were sitting.

The Pelicans put Anthony Davis on a minutes restriction just to spite him.

The Pelicans and Lakers were TANKING.

This new system is complete bullshyt teams that deserve top picks will be continue to be screwed in years to come.

fukk Sam Hinkie and the 76ers.

All these NBA insider dikk heads talking about how exciting the lottery was

No nikka it was complete bullshyt

Not only was the results bullshyt but the program itself could be done so much better

 

[Collateral]

NO only decided to tank because AD fukked the rest of their season up by requesting a trade. The Lakers weren’t tanking, LeBron only sat out the last couple of games.

Knicks fans pissed

They didn’t have to restrict that mans minutes or stop playing him. He was under contract and the trade fell through.

A tanking team won the first overall pick which shows the NBA was completely ineffective in curving tanking. The NBA didn’t even reprimand the Pelicans for doing that to one of the very best players in the game.

Knicks fans pissed

This isn’t about the Knicks

Didn’t they also arbitrarily decide not to play him some games at all?

 

[Stop_It_5]

Bron left the Cavs and his new team still picked higher than Cleveland Pellies randomly benched AD during 3rd/4th quarters after the deadline and got pick 1


The issue with anti-tanking rules is that the teams being punished legitimately sucked. You can't justify Phoenix and Chicago picking 6th & 7th.

 

[ISO]

Even Memphis shut down JJJ when he could have played had the team been in the playoff race

 

[He Who Posts Well]

Miami should be have won the lottery

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Miami should be have won the lottery

 

[Brozay]

instead we get to watch 7/8 seeds tank their way out of the playoffs

 

[BlackAchilles]

The North American sports "draft" is all bullshyt anyway

 

[Boonapalist]

Man the little ole Pelicans pissed off Laker and Knicks fans in the same season, and they barely even did shyt. this is crazy

 

[Loose]

Why should we be happy about the possibility of building more mediocre teams ? Small markets have zero leverage now to compete or build a team. Yes the pelicans "won" this draft but getting back into the top 3 is slim to none they diluted team building to guessing on lotto picks
