I get the desire to tank as a fan, but no worthwhile coach or player ever plays to lose. In terms of the future, the Mavs have been lucky last year and this year that they've been bad and can bring in some young talent in the draft. We are also lucky though that we have a team that plays with heart and tries to win every game as that is a culture trait you want to nurture and keep as an organization.
Now, the front office beyond Carlisle can and should think more about what they can do to strategically tank IMO. And, maybe we'll see that in action this week.
