Okay. Just confirming you made a dumb post.
The players don't give a #### about the franchise getting a lottery pick pick. They care about maximizing their value, and getting the best contracts for themselves. It's in their best interest to play as good as possible so then they are valuable players that the team, or other teams will pay for.
Tanking is purely for the organization. Not the players. So giving them #### for trying to win games? #### outta here.
