Let me slightly amend what I said, then. Strategy matters, but I don't believe there's one single pre-ordained strategy that will turn out best.
Culture of winning or tank?
- Thread starter str8line
- Start date
Sure, Benedict Mathurin looking like the ROTY so far and he was the 6th pick
Golden States clearly tanked to grab Harrison Barnes. Do they not have a winning culture?
Edited.
Celtics (via Ainge) cleared the house and we’re bad for a while. Then eventually with the picks they grab Tatum and others. Do they not have a winning culture?
They reached the Finals last year.

That was like end-of-the-year positioning so that they could get the 8th pick rather than no pick at all, yeah?
Far different than what we're talking about here.
Tanking doesn’t mean that once you’re equipped with the right talent you can’t turn around and have a winning culture. I don’t know why the poll makes it seem like you can only have and not the other.
You CAN have BOTH.
You CAN have BOTH.
Celtic won 53 games the season before they grabbed Tatum. They let the Nets do their tanking for them.
They were bad for a number of years go read my post earlier in the thread.
They were the 1 seed and drafted Tatum with the Nets pick.
Yeah but the year they traded the big three they also won 25 games.

Which is the same path we’re on with the Cavs and Twolves pick, no?
Ainge is just doing the same thing here he did with the Celtics.
