I assume "know how to tank" meant they willingly sold off whatever they could for the highest picks they could, taking on post-rpime players with fat contracts to make that work, which allowed them to ice a team that they knew wasn't going to win games.
Result: lots of extra picks, plus a couple of top-three picks = brand new shiney core to build around. I think they still wind up drafting in the 10-13 spot this season, and then I suspect it'll be time to make a coaching change and start playing for wins again.
