quote:The effects of such in-game tanking can be even bigger than you think. A 6-8 week injury to your star player will always err on the -8 week side, and players who know you're tanking are logically less likely to work as hard as they can. It just makes for a shitty product compared to what it can be when all teams are competing in earnest.
This!!
I'll freely admit I don't see it as I watch it, I'm not looking into things with that much detail. But there's enough folks that are looking at those things talking about it for me to recognize its presence.

You want to eliminate tanking this is what you do. Relegate the bottom two teams in the league each year. Then promote the two best teams in the D-League and award them the first pick to the top D-League team and the second to the second place D-League team. No need for lottery and no meaningless games at the end of the season. That would pump more money and interest into the D-League. They can't be much worse than the worst teams in the east. But it'll never happen. Owners would never go for that.
