Dwyane Wade who’s a minority owner of the Jazz shares his thoughts on tanking and the fines Utah has received:
“People have been doing this forever. Obviously this is a part of sports. It’s a big part of the NBA sport. Always has been…. Teams forever has always tried to put themselves in position to build through the draft. It’s different ways you can build your organization. The draft, free agency, trades, everyone has their own strategy. In this new genre how I look at it, the best strategy when you’re rebuilding is through young guys. It’s very hard to get Free Agents to come change your organization around. So you build through young guys. How you gonna do that? You gotta build through the draft. Everybody who’s at the bottom of the league, understands they’ll only get better if they build through the draft or get lucky with a trade. This is nothing new, it’s just now everyone paying attention to it”

Fake news is what they use to talk about. “Believe every thing you hear and see” is outta here. “Believe everything you research and sourcing” will be the times moving forward.
