ok, that argument i can certainly respect.
We already did tank under ML Car, and again under Ainge, and we lost out both times. The first time we ended up not getting Duncan and instead got Mercer and Billups, and then TRADED away Billups (thanks Pitino)
and the second time we missed out on Oden/Durant and Ainge somehow turned it around and got KG and Ray.
Tanking is offensive to fans, but one could argue that we are due for it work out for us this time
I don't think we tanked to get Oden. I think we just sucked. If we had tanked (intentionally lost), I doubt Pierce would have been asking out of Boston.
We tanked smartly, LOL. We shut down Pierce early and Doc played useless vets into the ground, literally, while showcasing Big Al, Delonte, and Gomes. We played Gerald just enough to keep teams intrigued without revealing that he really sucked.
This is 100% right.
Its what Danny wants to do next season. Ease Rondo into full time minutes, put iur young pnies on display and make them look as good as possible. Id say we wont have as much of a veteran presence this time but we'll still have some nice looking pieces while we suck..ie Jordan, Bledsoe,Bradley, Sully,Green and a few picks.
If we fail at the ping pong show again, we'll still have caproom and assets to get our hands on some great players to either support Rondo or a completely new breed similar to what Houston has just done. 2015 free agency class will have plenty of big fish for us to fry.
