And yes keeping Robinson out and getting Duncan certainly has contributed more than anything to their 18 years of excellence.

He played 6 games that season!!! How is that tanking? Are you suggesting that team that had 62 wins the season before said "screw it, hold robinson out for 76 games, we're tanking so we *might* get Duncan (considering boston had a worse record and didn't win the lottery)".
They tanked because they lost two starters (Person and Robinson) for basically the whole year. They were going to be a bad team.
And yes, Duncan is a big reason they became a model franchise, but it's not like they tanked 10 years in a row and stock piled. The reason they have remained consistent is by adding guys like Parker and Ginobli.
