The previous two seasons were half-tank, wastes of a season. Probably need to be bad next season too.

I do think the season after the Gobert/Mitchell trades they were planning to tank. But the roster was too good. So then they thought, "hey maybe we don't need to tank after all and we can make a trade of an all-star type player." But that never came close to happening. And a bunch of time has been wasted.
