There will be a LOT of tanking teams this upcoming season. Getting a top 5 pick is a longshot. And then the odds are not in favor of that pick becoming a franchise player. So you're basically talking about liquidating the roster, plummeting attendance numbers, taking significant financial losses, and sucking for multiple years for maybe a 5-10% chance of landing a franchise player.
For the record I'm not against the idea of going into a rebuild per se, it's just that I don't see this ownership having any willingness to go down that road.
