Nets about to tank for the 6th seed

[mastermind]

Can't really do too much about playoff tanking, but Silver has GOT TO revise the draft process.

he would solve it by getting rid of the draft completely.

This ain't what u want.

 

[mastermind]

its the truth.

you get rid of the draft, why would teams tank?

 

[yoyoyo1]

If they wanted to tank, shouldn't they have lost their last game too?

what would you do then with no draft?

 

[MikelArteta]

washington is a game and a half behind the nets and they only have 1 game left

They wouldn't have predicted Miami was going to fall to the second seed and Indiana was going to get the 1st

Some dude on grantland already worked this out. Just let teams sign rookies like free agents. if you got cap space you can offer as much of it as you want to Wiggins or Parker and they can decide where they want to go. Top teams will treat incoming players like vets. you can offer them something like a MLE which every team gets or if you want to overpay you'd need cap space.

I think that system would work well. Top rookies wouldn't always go to top teams cause they'll most likely not have cap space. But it would also allow the top rookies choice. Take $10 million to play in LA or take $20 million to play in Milwaukee.

If Brooklyn loses the next 2 games and
then Washington wins their last one then they switch places.

That's still risky. The marketing potential of being a rookie in LA >>> Milwaukee.

But on the flipside being a starter, roy, all star selection will have it's benefits as a brand endorser as well

btw if the nets do this and lose

today

all the raptors wil do is lose tom and let chicago get that third seed and then you end up with the bulls :umadqueen:

and we get the wizards and pacers second round

 

[Ohene]
