Modern tanking, imo, is not losing on purpose. Players would never go for that. The original meaning of tanking is the team loses games on purpose in one specific season to get the best draft pick creating a race to the bottom.
Modern tanking is trading/selling off valuable assets in exchange for draft picks and prospects knowing the team will not be trying to compete even for a playoff spot.
For the most part this is not a 1 year plan. It’s a multi year plan to accumulate the best draft picks and prospects possible while selling off older pieces.
So do you approve of or accept this way of building a team or tanking as some people call it?
