How TV Money Could Make Winning Matter #nba #adamsilver #tanking
I'm sure teams will find a way to manipulate it but I think it's an idea worth discussing and looking into how it might work in practice.
Penalties and fines aren't going to solve the problem.
#NBA #Tanking
Ich bleibe bei meiner Meinung zum Tanking!
TankingTeamFans (TTF) wissen was auf sie zukommt und kommen klar.
Non-TTF können sich auf leichte Siege freuen.
Die einzigen die meckern sind die Wettanbieter und die Medien, weil die sich mit jedem Spiel auseinandersetzen müssen. 🤷🏼♂️

Here's how to fix the so-called "tanking" problem in the NBA: Disqualify the worst team from the draft lottery. #nba #tanking
Tanking in the NBA is going to create odd situations.
Let's say there's a team that needs a loss to clinch the worst record. They play a rival team with nothing to play for.
Will the rival team lose to prevent the tanking team from getting the worst record?
#nba #tanking #relegation
I don’t let these losses bother me. Tonight’s loss dropped them to #30 overall. The Blue Jackets jumped to #3 in the Metro, pushing the Icelanders out of a playoff spot.
#Tanking
The NBa is thinking about expanding when it has a tanking problem. The product is already watered down.
I'd prefer relegation than expansion.

before changing the lottery, the nba should institute increasing financial penalties to teams who miss the playoffs or play-in in consecutive years. similar structures have worked (trades to get under the luxury tax)! not that hard to be in the top 2/3 of teams every other year. #nba #tanking #fix
The video game industry crashed in the 80s because Atari had zero quality control.
The NBA needs to clean up the quality of teams. 5-6 teams are purposefully losing. The whole league looks bad.
#nba #tanking #atari
Bad for the NBA. Boring FTs against a team that is tanking.
And the NBA is thinking about expanding. Take care of your tanking problem first.

Making an issue black and white isn't a good fit here.
Kobe's game was much more within the flow of a regular game. Especially when you consider he had other high scoring games that season.
40+ FTs isn't normal. It's ugly basketball.
#nba #tanking
I agree too! This totally not sarcastic either!
It doesn't matter. Bam had an ugly 83 points. Too many FTs, low % from 3. Not good for the NBA.
Just shows how bad some teams are and highlights the tanking problem.

Vancouver Canucks,
You Know You are 100 percent Tanking
when you let James Reimer get a 16 save shutout against you.
The NHL should take away top draft picks for that.

Tanking ist nicht das Problem. Klar es nervt, aber um die Saison interessanter zu machen, braucht es mMn weniger & kürzere Spiele.
64 Spiele á 40 Minuten.
Weniger Resting, jedes Spiel zählt mehr und alle sind happy.
Dazu Wetten raus aus der Liga: als Sponsoren & Partner.

Utah Jazz starting center Jusuf Nurkić will undergo a surgical procedure on his nose Wednesday that will sideline him for the remainder of the season

Funny
@nba.com is NOW going after #tanking after years of it going on.
Could it be their new love affair and business association with Sports Betting has something to do with it?
#CapiatalistInncentives
Just a thought.
Would it help the #tanking problem in #NBA to simply set the day for determining the draft lottery order to mid Feb.
Why?
The cost to tank is heavier early in the season, when you might still have hope for play-in. Late in the season there is no longer an incentive.
5 years in the making and with still some final tweaks, especially as we take input from league stakeholders… thank you to @johnhollinger.bsky.social (@nytimes.com and @theathletic.com) for writing about our idea to fix #tanking in the #NBA! Gift link below 👇
Hear Me Out.. Maybe We DON’T Need NEW Tanking Rules

Grandpa Silver is threatening to be really serious this time about teams not tanking. He means it! He isn’t kidding! He’s going to put his foot down & might even raise his voice. He could even go as far as having a few meetings about the possibility of doing something about it. #NBAsky #tanking
Fairly sure I've reconciled my theory of promotion and relegation to clean up #tanking in US sport with the draft and to be fair it's not that complicated just needs a bit of imagination.
