I think your third sentence is where your vision is blurred. Even most guys who were hugely in favor of tanking have said that they hate this way of conducting business. So while they root for losses, they dont think there's anything "great" about it.
But it is what it is... you play by the game the best you can according to the rules given. Being a jolly good sport in business world or sports is often less rewarding than being dirty or living in the gray area. Its sad but true. That may be because the rules suck, but if you have followed this board closely you know the main topic of conversation all year has been how to fix this issue on the level where it actually exists.
The problem isnt that we are doing it. The problem is that there is a theoretical reward for doing it. I mean if there is gold at the end of this rainbow, then I'd rather have the Jazz get it than any other team.
