Wiggins isn't good enough to turn us around. Not that we will get him anyway. We'll get the number 5 pingpong ball knowing our luck.

The bold was my thought. With the C's luck they won't even get the number 1 pick to get Wiggins.
Also I didn't think they would blatantly tank but I knew from the start with this roster, a rookie coach, and no Rondo that they weren't gonna be good.

Trading 2 of your 3 best players for a couple of bench guys, scrubs and picks are gonna result in a lot of losses.

Exiting training camp with a plan to rely on Avery Bradley as your point guard is going to result in even more losses.

These are smart moves when your lone All star is out indefinitely in a loaded draft year. Perfect storm for tanking without looking like you are tanking from game to game.

I dont think the celtics are going to throw games (this could change depending on rondo's status, and the standings much later in the season). Instead the celtics have put together a roster that will lose a lot of games because they aren't good enough to close.

I'm not sure that we're ranking so much as that we're terrible.

I want this team to compete and try to win every night. Try to make the Playoffs. If the definition is mediocre of making the Playoffs but not win the title, then I'd rather have that. Being there will build character and experience. Our team will be hungrier, therefore will work harder to get over the hump.

Besides, we have a ton of assets and a very good GM. I trust him to get us out of mediocrity even without a top 5 pick, as log as we have a squad that competes and tries to win every night.

But if what we are going to do though is ON PURPOSELY suck and throw away whatever pride we have left, the I'm going to be ashamed of this team.

I get the part that we are not good enough to win, but that's not tanking, that's the side effect of rebuilding. We lose but we we always try to win, just not good enough. I'm hoping this is what "tanking" means. I can accept this

But if the suggestion of tanking is to on purposely lose, and embracing and encouraging it, then that's disgraceful and disrespectful to the game, and the legends of this team, and to us fans.

Yup.......it's an automatic tank.....no elite talent
