I try to see the downside in teams being horrible and tanking but I legit have never seen it.
The downside is if it doesn't pan out your fukked for years . It's hard in the nba tanking is the cheapest way to get assets and a potential superstar but there is so much limited talent to go around you might be tanking on the wrong year :to:

Maybe I'm okay with drafting Mudiay rather than Russell now if Embiid catches the...

You make fun of big men with injuries? I consoled you through Andrew Bynum deteriorating in front of your eyes and now this? The post gods are cruel, you better hold onto Okafor and cherish him, you cherish him

Big man + foot issues = :francis::mjcry:

This is why I am worried for KD, I hope they both dont go the Yao, Rick Smits route where once it happened it just kept taking them out until they threw in the towel

Ok but a bunch of tanking leads you to the treadmill . You get enough pieces that it's impossible to tank after a point . The sixers tanked 3 years and still don't have a franchise player

Trade the piece that has value for more pics and tank again. If this is your strategy DIE with it. Why would you stop now?

But it only works if your pieces has value . The sixers have no valuable pieces to trade as now . It's like the Bobcats tanking until now they are a middle of the road team

It's not like Philly didn't know this when they drafted him.

Cleveland Clinic did his physical and shared it with the teams at the top of the draft last year.

I was depressed just reading the details.

What was the results of his physical at Cleveland clinic?

Give him a few more years off his foot and let him come back to basketball at age 22.

Hold on the Breh was alright an elite level talent but a project none the the less I don't think he can go multiple years away from the game and than return at that same level...Also would his contract just be suspended until he returned?
