It is silly question
Everybody want to win.
Not everybody know how...
But this is different story.

I disagree. A lot of players want to win, but are perfectly content with not winning as they're still getting paid. I think playa's poll is more towards what their true priority is. Is winning *that* important to them? I would say a lot of players don't mind losing... they like playing anyway and like getting rich.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

I agree with Solace. Sports is the only "job" where you get paid no matter how you perform, that is the inherent problem. I am sure most guys want to win but but if you can't really fire someone, you'll have a problem. A lot of the losing teams have the talent to win so why don't they??

Solace I thought everybody knew what I meant. obviously not.

Yea their true priority is it to win. Or is it based on the owners willing at all cost to win (dallas-detroit) etc...

Winning is the nature of any sports.
All stuff outside this is chitting.
Thinks like pro boxing deals, tricking game results in soccer, etc. is a crime against sport.
Do you think we have a lot of criminals there in NBA?
I don’t think so. We do have players and teams who cannot win just because they have not enough skills, character, or badly managed.
But they all want to win. No doubt

They maybe willing to win , but at what cost ?

Are they willing to put in the extra amount of work over the summer to get better or just try and get inshape during training camp and preseason.
