Losing is a benefit for NBA teams. It is a fact that is not lost on the general managers of the league.
There is no doubt that fans are aware of it as well. There are some people who hate it. In certain circles, the word “tanking” is considered to be a dirty word. Whatever the case may be, it remains a fact of life in the NBA.
In the meantime, there is a downside to losing for a long period of time as well. At the end of the day, all the lottery picks in the world may not be able to save a team from losing.
They may start to grow uneasy about the picks they have made before if they keep losing. Take a look at the Detroit Pistons as an example.
There is a chance that this team will have another pick in the lottery this summer. That said, it’s likely that they will also be looking to take a step forward at the same time.
Would it be possible to accomplish this by acquiring OG Anunoby from the Toronto Raptors?
