I'm not sure if you realize you haven't proven anything to be untrue. |
yawn
you keep saying the same thing, verbatim and when one does that it implies lying.
Better change your wording, you won't sound that boring.
I've had enough of your condescending. STFU |
Well of course people are just going to say the same thing. There's nothing to discuss here given the faulty original premise.
I think a discussion on the merits of tanking as a strategy is a good, worthwhile one.
I only take issue with your premise. A more sensible argument would have been to show the variability in the draft with the new rules. That, it is now more unpredictable than ever.
Unfortunately, you tied your argument to the actual outcome which makes the argument faulty. In the same thread, you've said that tanking is bad because Pelicans/Lakers moved up, and tanking is bad because New York moved down while also saying...
Quote: | wtf do you mean
it's all about the outcome
smh |
Apparently ... it's all about the outcome and the outcome is irrelevant at the same time. Amazing. |
Man that's it...I'm gonna ignore you.
That second quote is the final straw. Totally out of context.
Find someone else to talk with. _________________ Trade AD now. |

Yep. And hopefully this coming season we don't see a tank thread or posters cheering Laker losses.
But what you really missed is that hindsight on one historical data point doesn't change the statistical probabilities of a future event for a process defined by a mathematical algorithm utilizing random number generation as a starting point. Really scintillating stuff here. |

Pretty much sums it up. It's funny -- I am generally anti-tank (with exceptions) myself for some of the reasons other posters already mentioned. I just think that saying it's bad because New York moved down and LA moved up at the same time is illogical.
FWIW, I don't think it ever good to tank from day 1. |

"yo mama tanked so hard......"

I get that but do we know when the odds will exactly play out as it is meant to be.
Putting yourself in the position is just a step but that step has its own baggage it brings with it. _________________ Trade AD now. |

I don't agree with having threads that exist solely to piss and (bleep) on other posters. |
