Why Did The Cavs not tank a season to get a pick when they had Lebron?

[ajnapoleon]

The Spurs did it to get Duncan and the Sonics did it when they just had Durant...The Cavs was too good with Lebron I wonder why they never did it.














Once again just a question dont kill me.

LeBron is so good that tanking probably seemed like a waste of time, especially if they didn't pick right and ended up with busts. I can understand why they tried to build the team through trades and free agency. Too bad their management sucked and the best players they could get was Mo Williams and a Shaq

The NBA has a lottery.

They had a lottery pick in 2004 and we saw how that worked out.

the spurs tanking was unintentional. d rob was out for an entire season with injuries after winning an MVP.

Technically, if Lebron would have stayed, Cavs could still have made that trade with Clippers where Mo and Jamario go and bring back B Diddy and that unprotected pick that turned into Kyrie Irving...

Pretty sure they had like the 8th pick or something in the 04 draft and they picked that hobo (worst than a scrub or terrible player) Luke Jackson

And the Cavs were too good even when it was just LeBron in his first year and in his 2nd year. they almost made the playoffs his rookie season too but I think they were one game out. Same case for the next year also.
