2025-2026 Tank Race Prediction Contest and Current Results Thread

Would not rule out a Trae Young run from the Wizards. He's not who he was, but he's better than CJ McCollum in terms of carrying a bad team. It's unlikely that the Jazz pass up any of the 5 teams on an individual basis, but if you took all the probability of passing just one of them I think there's a chance.

I am, however, giving up on IND or SAC making a run. It's like they have street cred for never tanking hard so they can just do as they please.

in all the head to head tanker matchups I will be rooting for whoever Ind and Sac play. I think they are out of reach. Not fully convince Wiz get Trae. I think it will cost the other first that Atlanta owns this year (its like 17 rn) and I wonder if they just wait. They must have real plans for their cap space if they are that motivated. In the summer I could see maybe a couple other suitors.

If the price is that low I wonder who else comes calling.

I've seen neutral parties say either side needs to send incentive. I actually think it's a pretty fair deal across. Just depends on how much WAS wants to preserve their tank and how much ATL wants to get rid of Trae (for cap space or bc he's annoying).
 
Nice win by the Wiz. Just learning that they also have a top 8 protected pick this year. Things break right and we may seem some nasty tanking between the two of us to guarantee bottom 5 or 6.

Damn, I had no idea. Now them trading for Trae really doesn't make sense to me

I get confused by protections, but looks like if it's 9th or higher then the Suns have swap rights. So not as disastrous, but they could still be giving up 9th for 20th or something

They're in the same situation as us. If it's past 8, it goes to NYK. If it stays top 8, they could swap with PHX.

Matching salary and a fake 1st will get it done.

Atlanta would prefer to save face at least, which is why I think they’ll want to at least get fake assets.
 
Nets vs Magic game right now is pretty crazy, Nets were down 14 with 6 minutes left and came back to tie. Egor made two huge threes to tie it and was facilitating really well.
