The original 2011 tank talk thread just passed 100 pages. It can be found here:
The same rules from the first tank talk apply and can be found here:
viewtopic.php?f=32&t=1064270The purpose of this thread is to give a designated place for "tankers" to discuss issues relating to losing in order to gain a better draft position in this year's draft. If you're hoping that the Raptors win as many games as possible and perhaps squeak into the playoffs then this isn't the thread for you. If you came into this thread looking to troll pro-tankers or insult them for wanting to get a high lottery pick you may be given a warning.
We're very early into the season and we're already seeing a ton of tank talk and lottery positioning speculation threads. This discussion topic has become incredibly divisive amongst the Raptors community (homers vs tankers) and it's lead to some flame wars back and forth. It's for this reason that we're making an official designated area for all pro-tank talk.
This thread is for you if:- You're hoping for losses and rooting them on.
- You believe being one of the top 5 worst teams in the NBA this season will be good for the organization long-term.
- You'd like to talk about the bottom of the standings and theorize who will fall where and who will be competing for the best players in the draft.
- You think any transaction that makes us better this year is a mistake and you'd like to talk about transactions that were recently made (including the TPE if it's used) after the intial trade talk threads start to die down.
New thread topics that deal with similar subject matter will be merged into this thread. Also, if ever you want to find this thread a link to it will be placed in the Raptors Forum Directory.Thank you,

Steph Curry is nasty. Him + Derozan would look so good together. Id give anything outside of Demar and Ed. They could have it all.
