We weigh the logic and the fallout of NBA tanking, from the Sixers’ Process to Wembanyama’s Spurs, and ask whether the system should reward losing. We offer concrete fixes to protect small markets while restoring trust and competitive integrity.

• what tanking is and how teams do it
• why small markets see tanking as a lifeline
• generational talents that shift franchise math
• costs to fans, players, and playoff races
• when losing becomes culture and habit
• what has worked and failed historically
• league tweaks like flattened odds and play-in
• proposals to dock lottery odds for clear tanking
• alternative draft systems and their trade-offs
• open question to listeners on ethics and value
