I’m not saying they only come through the draft, just that it’s the easiest way
for a team like Utah. You can try and trade for it as well…that generally involves trading a guy like Lauri though. That’s how OKC got SGA, they traded Paul George

Imagine coming on CB & seriously trying to argue that tanking doesn’t help when the Celtics, Twolves & Thunder all are

I actually think the Mavs can win…but they also tanked…for Luka and with Luka

Mavs got Luka via a trade with Atlanta. Just saying.

A trade during the draft…they moved from 5 to 3

Still a trade. They had the 5th pick. Goes back to talent evaluation.

I don’t get what your point is…trading is still allowed when you’re tanking

My point is that Ainge is following the same path he did when he rebuilt the Celtics twice. He didn't follow the path

The key is Boston got super high picks from Brooklyn to draft their 2 best guys
PHXSUNS31
May 6, 9:31am
I'd argue that Boston's success is not because of their top 2 players but because of the overall balance they have on

Certainly they’ve done a lot right, but they would not be where they are

smh ... missed the point again.

I’m not missing your point, just disagree with it and think you’re missing mine

Here's where we disagree ...

That stuff is all great, but none of it is making you a contender

Of course you need top talent, but you're saying that talent only comes through the draft. It doesn't. OKC's top player

No, that's how the Jazz got Lauri, Sexton and Kessler. Lauri is the Jazz's version of Tatum and Sexton/Brown. Jazz still

Hahaha ... you mean the asterisk season in the "bubble" without travelling and fans? Ok then. Btw ...

Mavs also tanked at the end of last year to keep their draft pick

What years are you counting as the Celtics tank?

The Nets did it for them

Yeah the problem for the Jazz is they got a lot of their picks from a team with

Cavs picks will turn out better. But one thing that could happen to Minny

Drafting Tatum & Brown. The whole point is getting high picks.

May 5, 11:17pm
They had NO guarantee those picks would be high picks when they made the trade. Good one. hahahaha

May 5, 11:29pm
So the years the Celtics went 48-34 and 53-29 are your examples of the Celtics
wjman11
May 6, 12:11am
They got those picks because they traded their top players for picks
JoeExotic

They tanked for 2014.

Plus magic. Not a contender this year, but very young and talented

You realize the Magic have had 13 top 6 picks (including THREE #1 overall picks) since 1989-90 and have NEVER won

Celtics didn't tank. Imagine someone arguing that they did.

Trading your stars for unproven young talent is also tanking.

Oh, so like Ainge trading Donovan and Rudy? So, you're fully on board with the Jazz rebuild. Good to know.

May 5, 11:28pm
I’m not refuting that the Jazz tanked…just didn’t follow through with it.

Also, the Twolves "tanked" for 17 yrs. You're ok with that I guess.

Only two paths to a championship for small market teams:

Dennis Lindsey screwed that chance up. Gave up WAY too much for Conley and then made some horrible trades and

My Kings tanked for 20 years. They should be the ‘96 Bulls by this point.

Don't forget the Pistons. And the Sixers.

It’s the #1 reason the Jazz haven’t done anything since Stockton & Malone.
