There is nothing we'd be selling off that we could not go and acquire... look at effing Detroit... they got paid to take Noel and Burks... they got Bogey for free.I do agree with you that we have some differing definitions of Tanking. Bottom line is this is a sellers market so any players we are looking to bring in (OG or Collins) will be really expensive this year. 3 firsts for OG, what has he done in this league to deserve that price tag!? So in a sellers market the best decision is probably to sell off valuable veterans. We've already ran out of minutes with talented players sitting on the bench.
You can't really swap pieces in a sellers market... that becomes really difficult because the buyers are willing to pay more. Likely not the best use of our assets.
There are no guarantees we find replacements but we will get value in selling them off, value in our draft pick being better this year, get value in adding FA or renting out the space... If we lose 5 more games than we would have running it back with some additional rookies (who would rot on the bench if we keep everyone) then who flipping cares.
