Quote:I'm a fan of teams in other sports that have tried this strategy of tanking to get a better pick.  Do you know what happens the next season?  Right off the bat the fans are watching College to see who else they can go for to "compliment" the guy they tanked for, who they quickly learned isn't the guy they hoped he was.  It happens over and over and over.  

 

In my mind, tanking for a better pick is like sitting still in the ocean and the waves just continually move you in a circular motion and you never go very far forward or back.  It's just a perennial, never ending loop. I HATE the idea of losing on purpose.  If you want to lose on purpose, get out of sports and find a different career/hobby.  You play a sport to win. Playoffs all the way.
