EPTI think the NBA could adopt the KHL draft rules to fight tanking. In the KHL ( Russian hockey) , once a team gets eliminated from the playoff chase they start earning draft points from their wins and the team with the most draft points win the first pick. Forces you to keep playing when the playoffs are out of the picture.

Ginobili's latest contract is well above what the market would pay and the other two would be mediocre/bad on other teams. It's all about getting the most out of the players you have and running a good system. A lot of players only seem underpaid/overpaid because of the teams they're in eg. Monta with the bucks or mavs Leonard makes 1.8 mil a year. I take it back, he is hugely underpaid. | ||

Not that they are great players, but they are great at the price. Giniobili at 13 mil might not be that underpaid anymore, I suppose on average, but with what the Spurs have done, they can typically afford it for his flashes of brilliance. And that is not to undermine Pop's system, or Spo's system, or even Phil's system when he was with the Lakers and Bulls, but it seems to me that systems seem to perform best when they have more talent and skill than the other team facing them. | ||

 when i read "the wheel" solution, my immediate thought was that this won't work simply because it gives college kids the leverage of knowing where they can get drafted to. cavs number one pick next year? lebron 2.0 will just wait that extra year to land with a big market team. otherwise it's a great system, but i just don't see how it can address the issue of college kids manipulating the year of their draft. | ||

why not give the middle ranked team the top pick? like the 8th and 9th in the conference in an alternating sequence (9th, 8th, 10th, 7th,.. so on). This gives a reward for the team that made the playoffs and the team that did their best to get to the playoffs (or at least a good record when out of playoff contention). This completely erases tanking but the downside is that last-ranked teams will stay bad coming to the next season in regards to picks | ||

Paul George is still pretty underpaid this year. Only makes 3.2 mil this season. Then $16 mil next season lol. Stephenson is in the same boat as Parsons though. Both making just under $1 mil. Absolute steals this year. Hell for the Pacers, between George and Stephenson, for less than $4.5 million, they are getting 35.6ppg, 8.7apg, 12.6rpg. Next year that will cost them probably about $25 million. | ||

Best way to tank, keep your fanbase happy by going all out to knock off the occasional contender whilst losing to the other bad teams you're competing with to maintain a terrible record. | ||

And it wasn't the refs fault--guys just kept committing really dumb fouls. Looks like the gloss is starting to wear a bit on the Blazers. | ||

Season's a Marathon, not a sprint and the Blazer lack of bench depth is starting to wear them down. Even if they're winning they aren't playing the same kind of quality ball they were 2 months ago. Be interesting to see what happens to them in February and March. Not that I'm doubting them, I'm genuinely curious to see how they play. | ||
