We very well may be a lottery team, but you never tank. Even if it gets you a pick (and there is no guarantee of a corresponding pick) it destroys your franchise. Plus, herr commissioner Stern would probably bankrupt Cuban for trying. Just look at the Spurs.

Also, I ran the numbers in one of the other tanking threads-- I forget which one but the odds aren't good in the average draft, and most analysts view this as a weak draft. I'll try to page through the old threads and bump the stats.
