Tanking for draft picks is no problem, because there is quite a big chance that the number one pick is not worth more than 100-200k, sometimes even less.

Tanking for money is the problem. It seems that you will make more money tanking than training your players and that is just wrong.

Tanking is not one in a choice of strategies, it is the supreme strategy.

More and more teams tank, now several teams in the same league tank. Why should it stop ? More and more teams in a league may tank, at least part of the season, except those going for the title. Why would you keep a roster to win half of your games by 100+ ? If there are many teams tanking, you can always save yourself later in the season. It makes sense strategically, how can you guarantee this will not happen, half the league tanking ? Would it make an interesting game ?

Some want to see the game from an individual perspective only, tanking is a choice that one makes to beat the others. They completely disregard that a few tanking teams in a league ruins it, the whole season and the appeal for the game. Devs might want to take this into account.

And very importantly, the same teams in top leagues you are talking about, many have gone broke and are saving their asses with tanking. They have/had an ageing roster worth peanuts, they would have gone down, tanking is their life-belt. Tanking is not promoting the renewal of top teams.

but tanking its not a problem.

Tanking IS a problem. This game, and I think many agree with me, should be about basketball tactics and basketball team management, not about the tanking the way it is being used.

I know the game can't be realistic, but closer the better and tanking is waaaaaaaay off.

Tanking is a form of basketball team management, though.
