Tanking is a bad team management problem, not a league problem.
To think that the league has no interest in assuring that its teams are competing in good faith is nonsensical.

Competing in good faith.....what does that even mean? Was Phoenix competing in good faith this off season when everyone thought they were tanking?

Tanking and poor management are two different things.

The Kings and Bobcats haven't been horrible for most of the past decade because they've spent 10 years tanking. They've been horrible due to terrible personnel decision after terrible personnel decision.

The tanking issue has just blown up this year because of a couple of the prospects in this class and how horrible the eastern conference is.
But, the east is not bad because of teams tanking. This east is terrible because of horribly constructed teams who were supposed to be "good" that just aren't(NY,Brooklyn, Cle) and injuries(Derrick Rose). I don't think you blow up the system because Michael Jordan is a terrible GM.
