We are going to regret these wins at the end of the season. Play the young guys and either win with them or lose and get a top pick. It makes no sense to have guys like Bass, Prince and Thornton winning us games so that we can slightly improve their trade value.
Our top asset is our own 2015 1st, and we shouldn't compromise its value for the sake of another late 1st or 2nd. Playing the vets is hurting development and our draft position.
In this current "deflategate" era is this where you want your team to head if you are a professional franchise? Wouldn't it be considered cheating to put in a lineup that gives your team the best chance to lose?
Maybe not if you have a franchise like the 76's, but what if you are a team with a winning tradition like the Celtics. My guess, if the Celtics knowingly tanked, then the league would switch from its blind-eyed position to an investigative one.
Speaking of tanking...what if the 76's end up winning the NBA Championship in a couple years. Would there be an asterisk attached to it? Or, at least some sort of backlash from the fans?
