Theres a difference between tanking and just being bad.
Tanking implies a mandate to lose. And to say that signing a guy like Butler is good because it helps us be worse is a tanking attitude. Tanking implies the players giving less effort in order to secure high draft picks. It doesn;t sit well with me, especially when you're trying to institute a team philosophy surrounding hardwork and accountability.
This team will be on the bottom end of the league no question, but if its for lack of trying I will be checking out.
** To add a little more context to what I am saying, even if this team finishes lower than last year, if I see hard work and kids trying to improve themselves and doing so in the process, I will consider the team improved from the 3 previous years. That is not tanking.
