No I don't know what you're talking about, winning 41 games and being the 8th seed every year is tanking???
Should the 76ers be penalized for purposly fvcking up their roster?

Give teams that aren't complete shyt a shot at top talent. Give top talent a shot at teams that are actually competent. Make it an actual lottery, and teams will be forced to adapt. Can't knock the Sixer's hustle for playing the system as it is
Adapting will not occur until the player pool improves.
Here's the problem with your logic:
Philly's issue isn't that they're drafting poorly. Besides Embiid (and that's a whiff anyone woulda made) their drafting has been good and their asset collecting has been good too. The coaching isn't necessarily at fault either.
Rule of thumb: if you're picking in the lottery, most likely your team is incompetent. If you've lost for a long time, you're incompetent, unlucky or both. Some of these teams that have been getting praised for how they're constructing their teams are still stupid; we just give them a pass because by the looks of it the suffering might end, but for all you know Philly makes it back to the playoffs in 2 years. They're in the East. It's not the most impossible scenario. I just can't shyt on a franchise for NOT trying to be mediocre. They think a title in Philly is a realistic goal. That's more than what others can say.

So they are going to get these top picks and add them to the top picks they have and then they are going to just magically start winning games?
They are just going to skip the whole "mark jackson" phase of changing the culture of a team and jump right in to winning?
The players they draft are actually going to stay their?

So in other words...fukk a fair, sensible system that doesn't punish teams for trying, either accept going nowhere or just be a bandwagon fan
.Exactly. You take hope and "the process" out of the equation and you take away the shield that many of these shytty GMs hide behind. You can't say "bu...bu...but we don't wanna be a treadmill team" if you eliminate the treadmill and give teams that are run well but just unfortunate a greater chance to be fortunate and eliminate any benefit from sucking. I am not mad at Philly, nor did I imply that they drafted poorly. My only point has been that teams that are in the middle should get more opportunities at top talent that could possibly propel them into being contenders. You shouldn't have to bottom out or be in a glamorous market in order to get a shot at the Lebron's or Duncan's of the world.

They get an opportunity. It's called the lottery. Hell, some squads in the middle won it and all y'all did was complain and cry conspiracy for Chicago and Cleveland.So in other words...fukk a fair, sensible system that doesn't punish teams for trying, either accept going nowhere or just be a bandwagon fan

In every sport, in order to potentially land the top amateur talent you must bottom out. The NBA and NHL are the ones who don't absolutely guarantee it.
Just because you're a treadmill team doesn't mean you're any more competent than a really bad team. Hell, if you're a treadmill team for a while, who's to say that team isn't comfortable being there?

Isn't that something everyone overlooks when y'all daydream about future draft picks? The Pelicans suck and yet I'm seeing shyt like "they need a top 5 pick to get Davis more help."
Next year: "they need another top 5 pick to get Davis more help."

They don't need anymore draft picks. They just need their starters to stay healthy. This season right now is bordering on being lost but if they can get Holiday Asik and Evans to stay healthy and play the vast majority of their games then the pelicans are a 45 - 50 win team. Not world beaters but all teams have to crawl before they can walk.

Yeah, because it's not like they didn't get LeBron back and went to the NBA Finals the 1st year back in Cleveland and then turn around and have the best record in the East currently.....it's the Sixers, not the Cavs, who have the plan
