they aren't tanking. they had a perfect opportunity last season and didn't.

injuries, horrific start, expiring deals....and they forced their head coach to apologize for saying his team wasn't a playoff team in early March when they were 13 games under .500

This is definitely true, but I would argue that injuries aren't currently a real excuse. Tyreke is not a major piece on this team healthy or not, he essentially acts as a better lance. Jrue coming back will be huge but it's entirely possible we still suck with jrue. Ultimately what I am asking isn't whether they will tank, because obviously I hope jrue comes back and has the impact we expect. What I want to know is if this year's roster construction turns out to be a disaster even when healthy does a single individual in the organization make the right call?
