Mavs' Cuban: 'Losing our best option' in '17-18


"I'm probably not supposed to say this, but, like, I just had dinner with a bunch of our guys the other night, and here we are, you know, we weren't competing for the playoffs. I was like, 'Look, losing is our best option,'" Cuban said on the podcast. "Adam [Silver] would hate hearing that, but I at least sat down and I explained it to them. And I explained what our plans were going to be this summer, that we're not going to tank again. This was, like, a year-and-a-half tanking, and that was too brutal for me. But being transparent, I think that's the key to being kind of a players owner and having stability."

tanking is not exactly "trying to lose", its just focusing on the youth. give all your young inexperienced guys the most minutes. its not like you throwing games, instructing players to miss shots, or turn it over.

At least he's honest The bottom 9 teams don't give a fukk about winning right now, except for the Nets.

Tanking is the best option. You can't win without key players. You can get other key players without key players. It's impossible

I am listening to the podcast, it's pretty good

That Bill Simmons plan might have to be put into play for all the non-playoff teams to try and prevent all this blatant losing.

It's not fair to the paying fans.

The question is: Will "Top 16 in" stop or prohibit tanking?

What the paying fan wants is in direct conflict with what the team wants


The players don’t play with the hope that they draft someone who might replace them.
