I've heard it through the grapevine..NBA gods have already designated Los Angeles LAKERS as NBA Champions in near future. The destiny is real. TRUST ME.

While I agree that this season over and therefore pointless, there are other teams that can get something out of it.

Teams that don't own their own pick or have weird stipulations so it won't benefit them shouldn't tank (DEN, CLE, etc).

Teams that have young core that are on the rise and can benefit from growing together (MIN, PHI etc.)

Team with a legit chance to wing a conference (GS, and CLE/MIL/BOS/WAS)

So the Lakers tanked to get Lonzo and Boston got 2 lottery picks from Brooklyn that is bad.

Why?
You get embarrassed by GS or the Cavs in live TV and you get no lottery picks in the process.

Well if they all decide to tank, then the 3 other teams who don't want to tank can get all the star players who will win too many games for all the tanking hopefuls

This is why the NFL is king here. Even if you are a fan of a weaker team you are a quarterback or random freak injury to a division rival away from being relevant again. Falcons getting to the Superbowl after what they went through for decades.Wild card Giants beating the Patriots. You just don't know.

We know that the Warriors will play and beat the Cavaliers next year. Zero suspense.

Look at the Panthers,Texans(found Tom Savage and made the playoffs),Raiders,Titans,Buccaneers,and Cowboys.Colts have Andrew Luck. Eagles have Carson Wentz and the Sea-hawks have Russell Wilson. Everyone has hope(except for the Jets,Browns and Jaguars).

Either put in a hard cap or put in a ultra-max contract that does not count against the cap or turn the G-league into a proper farm system.

No teams should tank. There's too many poor teams going into the season that there's not enough benefit.
