New NBA fan here. I started getting interested in the NBA this year as my friends and I started a Bball fantasy league. I drafted Javier Morant in the 5th round knowing he was suspended but thought it was good value for the pick+Memphis is my favourite team.

I’m getting destroyed in my pool, when is Javier coming back? Also, the Grizz are currently bottom feeders, is Morant return enough to compensate the lost of Dillon Brooks?

    What would tanking look like? If you want to predict whether or not theyre going to tank you have to look at more than just basketball statistics. The grizzlies were. A bad team not that long ago, which means they had low revenue. Imagine increasing your revenue by 50%, and then tanking immediately.

    Not a chance. This team is going to put the best product out there they can. Theyre trying to grow and protect their gains, not gamble it on a single draft pick. Youre talking about tanking to get a draft pick and youre not even thinking qbout the literal hundred million in revenue theyd lose as a result

      The season is over man. Let it go. Most NBA revenue is pretty fixed. If they lost a few million in single game seat sales that’s a drop in the bucket.
