TPE: nba question

[victor2111]

wanted your opinion or anyone else:

Cuban a few weeks ago that OKC should sit Westbrook and KD the whole year since they're both hurt for some time and TANK for a top pick in the draft to build around them for the future.

Do you agree or no?

Very dumb idea. It's only November, for starters. What kind of message would that send to the guys that are currently on your roster, to the season ticket holders, other fans, etc?

Sounds like a recipe to destroy a franchise, not rebuild it.

Agree with OSF. They need to separate those two imo.

I'm not one to question Mark Cuban when it comes to business decisions and that's what that would be. Those fans are die hard and would not be affected by a tanked season.

However, I don't agree with the sentiment for a multitude of reasons. While next years draft class is stacked much like this past one, there is never a guarantee that you're going to get the guy you want and there is no guarantee that he will be good or stay healthy.

Also, Kevin Durant has a very legit shot at being the all-time NBA scorer and I can't imagine him sitting a season and hurting his chances at that. Plus OKC will be a legit threat in the playoffs whether they're a 1 seed or an 8 seed, so the main thing is just to get there.
