Tanking 101: How to execute the proper small-market rebuild.

[blueadams]

#1: Roster Breakdown. If I'm Tom Gores, it begins right now. I'm trading everything I have that anyone wants for picks and expiring contracts before tomorrow's deadline. Blake, Dre, Bullock, Kennard, Stanley, Reggie, etc. Whatever I can get, I take (*Repeat: WHATEVER I can get, I take). Goal is to finish the season with the 27th worst record or worse (top-3 teams all get an equal shot at the #1 pick now). 23-29 right now. 27th place was 24-58 last yr. Can we finish the yr 1-29? It'd be tough, but it's certainly worth trying.

#2: Drafting. I'm a patient man, and I'd want to do this thing the right way. I'd want 5 top-5'ish picks. So it'd be a 4.5-yr tank. For the last decade in Detroit, it's been bad basketball without hope. Our attendance is dead-last, and by a significant margin. I don't think it could possibly, realistically, get any worse than it's already been. And if what's been is sustainable economically -- as it seems to be -- we should have no problem. And.. if we are a bad team with hope, and with a clear direction, a clear goal.. I actually think that our fan base would be far more interested and invested than its been.

...So what are we looking for in the draft?

...#1: 3-pt Shooting. I'm not looking for good 3-pt shooters, or even great 3-pt shooters.. or guys who could "develop" into great 3-pt shooters. I'm looking for already-lethal 3-pt shooters. Guys who can switch uniforms, step onto NBA courts and shoot 40% from 3 tomorrow. Need to have 4 of them at the 1-4 positions in your starting lineup in today's NBA.

...#2: Defense (Athleticism & Size). Don't need to be Andrew Wiggins's. Just need to project as at least average defenders at their positions in the NBA.

...*If a player can shoot 40% from 3 and guard his position at at least an average level.. the bust factor is almost 0. These two ^ things are far and away the two most important things. Everything else is secondary. And if those two things aren't there (and there's not an ELITE center prospect on the board)--don't reach. Just trade your pick for pick in the next draft that Should be in about the same area.

...#3: Character.
-A: Work Ethic (Desire/Priorities/On & Off-Court Effort/Coach-ability/Competitiveness/Toughness).
-B: Personality (Team-1st or "Winning" Mentality/Likability/Selflessness).
-C: Intelligence (Passing/Instincts/Understanding & Execution of Offensive and Defensive Concepts).

#3: Oranization: Detroit's not LA/NY/SF/Miami/Chicago/etc. But it's not Sacramento either. It's a pretty cool place. And you need to make it a very, very desirable workplace to work in. Treat these guys like absolute kings. If they've got an AAU Coach, a Barber, a Best Friend, a Girlfriend, Parents, Siblings, etc. who want six-figure jobs in the organization.. you give it to them. You make this place their home, their family, etc. It's exactly like college recruiting -- only nothing's illegal.

#4: Rest of the Roster:

...In the tanking years, you surround these guys with veterans -- true professionals. Guys who do things the right way. Who know how to take care of their bodies. Who know how to practice. Who live right & work hard. Who can be mentors, good examples, relate-able, assistant coaches, etc. No long-term commitments. And no guys who are capable of actually winning games. As the young guys get too good to lose, you rest them -- give them extra nights off, restricted minutes, etc. These are young, developing bodies.. and you want to keep them healthy.

...In the post-tanking years. 1st-rd picks are on cheap contracts for 4 yrs now, and under club control for 5 yrs. There'll be cap space to add good talent around them (on the bench) when it's time to go for it. Just don't make any long-term commitments that will impede your ability to keep the core in tact as their respective pay-days arrive.

#5: Front-Office/Coaching Staff: If you're plan is to rebuild through the draft, obviously, you want to have a lot of great college and high school scouts in the front-office. I imagine that's something we're trying our best to do already. But there'd obviously be less of an emphasis on scouting other NBA teams' talent. And coaching-wise, you want guys with a lot of experience developing younger players successfully. Maybe looking to the college ranks with more regularity. Horrible x's and o's coach, but until you're ready to go for it, a guy like John Calipari (and the big contract he'd demand) wouldn't be entirely stupid. A Fred Hoiberg, a Quinn Snyder, a Rick Pitino, a Billy Donovan, etc. John Beilein would be perfect---but I don't want him getting stolen lol.

That's a whole lot of words to just say - pretend we're the sixers

That's a whole lot of words to just say - pretend we're the sixers

No, it's not. That's ^ the typical smart-arse reaction to a post like this. The Sixers had the right idea, but they were complete idiots about it.

They drafted:
-Nerlens Noel #6 ovr in '13. A defense-only C in a league where Centers are more or less Fullbacks.
-Joel Embiid #3 ovr in '14. Another center (a good one), for some reason?
-Jahil Okafor #3 ovr in '15. Yet another center, for some reason?
-Ben Simmons #1 ovr in '16. A good perimeter player who can't shoot to save his life.
-Markelle Fultz #1 ovr in '17. Another perimeter player who can't shoot to save his life.

What could have been.. (just looking at guys who went within the next 10 picks)..

-Giannis, Steven Adams or CJ McCollum ('13).
-Embiid ('14).
-Porzingis ('15). 1 pick after Okafor.
-Simmons ('16).
-Tatum ('17). 2 picks after Fultz.

C: Embiid
PF: Porzingis
SF: Giannis
SG: Tatum
PG: Simmons

Yeah, it was a really stupid idea they had.

Oh, my bad. Be Phili with a crystal ball. Why doesn't everyone just pick the superstar out of every draft 5 years in a row while never improving enough to not have a top 5 pick?

[Hangry Jalapeno]

I would love everybody, including people who work in media who report on NBA, and specifically the Pistons front office to reframe the tanking conversation. Instead of using the word tanking (which is purposefully losing when you have the ability to win more games) I would like teams call it development because it has a positive connotation rather than negative . In our case, that means having the guts the trade Blake and Andre and any other tradable assets we have for as many draft picks and young players as possible. Teams that do this will play hard and try to win but will of course lose more games because of youth and holes in the roster and we’d naturally get higher draft picks for several years.

The Pistons will have to improve their scouting and decision making for drafts but it’s the best and most realistic way of becoming an eventual contender—that goes for any team stuck in the lottery or middle of the pack. Sadly, Gores shows no signs of doing something like this but reframing the conversation to development makes it sound more palatable.

Do you need a crystal ball to know it’s stupid to draft centers in the top-6 3 yrs in a row?? In a league where the C position is now the least important on the floor.

If you don’t care about titles —- Head over to the Detroit Opera House. Go watch Phantom of the Opera.

Quit supporting this moron Gores’ mediocracy-money/sucker-grab and leave us the hell alone.

You do realize that your plan was to potentially draft 3 centers in a row too. Steven adams, Embid, and porzingis.

You are just using hindsight to pick the best players in the draft. You can do the same thing without even tanking. Instead of KCP, we pick Giannis. Instead of Stanley, we pick booker. Instead of Luke, we pick mitchell. So we role out Mitchell, Booker, Giannis, Blake, and Dre and dominate the east.

Dude, no. I’m not gonna just sit here and listen to / accept your bs responses.

Hindsight my arse.

I was on record about 50 times saying Giannis was the #1 player in the ‘13 draft. The first time I ever saw that scratchy tape of his I said “he’s a bigger, stronger Dr. J; I’d take him #1 overall.”

Next draft, in the Sixers spot, I would’ve for sure taken Embiid. The highest-ranked pure shooter in that class was Stauskas; who clearly didn’t project as an average defender. Perfect draft to take the top ranked C on the board.

The next draft, in the Sixers spot, I certainly wouldn’t have drafted another center. Highest rated guy on the board was a sweet-shooting stretch 4 I loved named Porzingis. Next pick in the draft.

Next draft, in the Sixers spot, Simmons was the most clear-cut #1 pick since LeBron James.

Next draft, in the Sixers spot, with Simmons (and Giannis) on the roster, I definitely wouldn’t have taken another guard who couldn’t shoot (Fultz or Ball). Next guy on the board would obviously have been the sweet-shooting defensively capable #3 pick Jayson Tatum.

C: Embiid
PF: Porzingis
SF: Giannis
SG: Tatum
PG: Simmons

No hindsight required. Just some basic brains to execute the awesome plan the 76ers had.

And if those guys started winning too many games as teenagers—rest. Games off. Restricted minutes. Etc. Keep young developing bodies healthy.

I’ll never accept that what should be happening isn’t. This a-hole Gores treats our organization — and it is ours, the fans’ — like his own private yacht party. F’k him and how little he cares about winning. Anyone who hands him money for a single ticket (scalper or traditional) or merchandise item is a traitor and part of the problem IMO.

Boycott.

Only one team has ever truly tanked. They spent 4 of their 5 picks on 3 centers and a guard who'll likely never play another NBA game. Still got two top-10 players out of it, in spite of their complete idiocy.

You're absolutely, completely, utterly and thoroughly incorrect. Sorry.

[blueadams]

Philly’s now got a big-4 of Simmons, Embiid, Butler and Tobias. And that’s you genius’s example of how I’m wrong and tanking doesn’t work???

Shut up and go away.
