everyone thinks its 2k and theres no repercussions from tanking on purpose. FO, coaches, players dont tank. its not a real option. nobody wants to come play for a team that would want to play that way. including rookies. fans wont want to buy tickets for teams that lose on purpose and so on and so on. its a stupid ass notion that this board doesnt understand.
How are the Suns or Sacramento managing then?
im not sure your question. dare you saying theyre throwing games on purpose ?
No, I'm saying they've been in the low loss totals for a few years now and up higher in the draft. Yet their fanbases didn't implode and even Sactown signed a few FA's because they had cap room (Granted it was Zach looking for a last payday and someone dumb enough to give it)
You know what - I'll compromise. Knicks have a real opportunity coming up at the deadline and offseason to move no future vets who maintain the treadmill and turn the roster over to youth and pick up assets. Let's see if they are interested. I mean, signing THJr was probably the first sign they figured they could make a little noise this year. I thought maybe they were looking to sew up SG on a value guy if his upside pans, but history tells me I should always be suspicious of the Knicks when it comes to knowing how to rebuild or even if they are truly interested in it.
