Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 3157940, member: 1026"] Teams/GMs aren't that dumb. You are literally arguing that they will play the odds but didn't understand the published odds until they observed an actual occurrence? They changed the rules, everyone knew the odds. The only thing one can't use about this year as an example is teams didn't know [B][I]until September 2017 (edited)[/I][/B][I][B] [/B][/I]that being the most terrible [B][I]in 18-19[/I][/B] wouldn't be rewarded. And really only the Knicks tried that and now have been universally identified as the biggest loser of the new draft system. There will always be lousy teams (LeBron leaves, Love injured - Cavs suck), but the tanking 'rewards' the Sixers parlayed into two straight second round exits have been muted. [/QUOTE]
