Given the rules changes regarding draft position next year, what are your thoughts on how hard teams will play vs tank? I'm really interested in watching how many "bad teams" start competing instead of writing off a season in order to help secure a franchise altering draft pick. The Mavs for instance could truly be competing for 8th spot in the playoffs vs being 1.5 games out of last place in the West.
I agree that teams will be trying a little harder next season with the rule change, which is why tanking is so crucial THIS season... If we don't end up with a top-5 pick this summer, then I see prolonged mediocrity for several years without a legit chance to rebuild.
