It's still way better to have those deals blow up in your face than a Hamonic/etc trade. Disaster is also a little strong...a little worse than expected is probably more accurate.
Whether they should have tanked from the start is a fair question, but they've still ended up with 2 picks in the top ~15, and 2 more in the top 40. Not to mention the toxic culture from intentional tanking can be hard to get out of. It's hard to see them getting into the bottom 5 regardless.
