You go and try to convince BI, Jonas, Hart, Herb, Graham and the rest of the guys that's out there fighting their arse off that they should be losing on purpose.
You want to lose your good players, or have them turn into having a don't give a shite attitude? Tell them not even halfway through the season that they need to tank.

A good tanking strategy would be having BI ISO away games in the 4th every night. The team is definitely better off long term figuring out how to win. Graham, JV, Hart and Herb have all showed up in crunch time and Willie starts to figure who and what he can and can’t count on.
With some luck you can learn to win and have a top pick. With the flattened lottery odds learning to lose only to drop from 3 to 5 seems like the malpractice to me. And based on how the number of teams tanking has changed a lot of the league feels the same way.

The problem - in my opinion - is the “rest of the guys” just aren’t worth anything however hard they play.
You named 5 guys and then stopped because that’s what we have. 5 nba players, including a true rising star in Ingram. Zion is 6 when healthy. The roster simply needs more and better players and we have not shown an ability to add through free agency. It’s got to happen through the draft.
If this Pelicans team ever competes for a title and not just a back end playoff slot it will be because Zion stays healthy and we draft a third star to pair with Zion and Ingram. Zion, Ingram and the rest of the guys on this roster simply won’t be a legit NBA title threat.
A top 4 pick in this draft would be massive.
