At what point does the pelicans tanking become realistic?

Let's get the obvious stuff out the way. Obviously a GM and possibly a coach with a job on the line won't tank unless they have no choice. This is also not a post calling for tanking. If we are tanking either we are playing more of the atrocious basketball we are currently witnessing or ad is hurt and it's worse. However at a point or certain record the season becomes a lost cause. At that point does the staff make the right call or not?

About 5 minutes into the first quarter tonight.

Also do we have any faith in Benson or Loomis to make that call if gentry and Dell aren't willing?

Jrue and Tyreke are on contract years and both want a piece of that new contract money so they will be playing their butts off. Not to mention when they come back AD will start to play hard again because he's sick of losing so tanking aint happening.

Tanking is also a lot harder than you'd think. This team started out 1-11 last year and played the last 15 or so games with a DLeague roster. They still wound up with the 6th pick, not a top 3 pick.
The only way I can see this team effectively tanking is if Demps/Gentry get fired Januaryish and the interim GM trades Holiday. I just don't see how a team with a healthy AD/Jrue loses enough games to get a high pick without some lottery luck.

Unless they fire both GM and Coach, I don't see it happening.
