Has Lance produced for any team other than the Pacers?

I think more teams will tank now that the chance of hitting gold falls all the way tho the 7th spot. The worst 2-3 teams don't tank, they are already that bad. The next 4-5 dpots will be up for grabs and at least 5-7 teams will be in play for those. I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only try to make them think - Socrates

If not I am not following your question I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only try to make them think - Socrates

Using that logic, in 1985 (the first lottery) did teams picking #8. #9, and #10 try to tank to get to #7 because that gave them a shot at the #1 pick? Remember, teams who missed the playoffs (picks 1-7) had the exact same odds of winning the lottery. If teams didn't tank in that scenario in get into the lottery I'm not sure I buy tanking in the scenario you described. Maybe teams tanked in 1985 but I don't remember.Welpee wrote:meloshouldgo wrote:How many teams tanked in the 80s to enter the lottery when everyone had an equal shot at the top pick?smackeddog wrote:nykshaknbake wrote:WHat's the point?

Also the NBA landscape is quite different from the 80s. I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only try to make them think - Socrates
