The practice of tanking is embraced by some NBA teams. There is no denying that it isn’t for everyone, however.

It is not realistic for some teams to be able to do that. If you don’t own your own draft capital, bottoming out isn’t a viable option. If you lose, then there will only be one team that will benefit from your loss.

Other NBA teams, on the other hand, simply refuse to do so. Based on their philosophical beliefs, they believe that it is a better method to put the best product on the market that they can.

It is in this category that the Indiana Pacers fall. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets can’t afford to tank since the Houston Rockets are owed their first-round picks for a very long time – so they cannot use up their first-round picks.
