Chicago didn't try to tank, they had an owner who didn't care and wouldn't spend money. Pittsburgh didn't try to tank, they went broke. The franchise came very close to relocating, but the potential buyer pissed off the other teams' owners and the deal fell through.
Moreover, Pittsburgh drafted the two very best centres of their generation in consecutive years. That opportunity may never happen again, and it is beyond foolish to make that part of your plan.
