Good Morning Dub Nation,

Although the Golden State Warriors have been too busy contending for championships to concern themselves with the idea of tanking, it remains a “serious” issue that the league continues to monitor as they come up with new ways to ensure teams stay competitive throughout the season.

On Monday, NBA commissioner Adam Silver did an interview with ESPN while sharing his thoughts on tanking.

Via ESPN:

“You’re dealing with a 14% chance of getting the first pick,” Silver said. “I recognize at the end of the day analytics are what they are and it’s not about superstition. A 14% chance is better than a 1 phoenix suns throwback jersey% chance or a no percent chance. But even in terms of straightfor Nike Phoenix Suns #15 Cameron Payne Men 2021 NBA Finals Bound Swingman Icon Edition Jersey Purple Menward odds, it doesn’t Ja Morant Jerseysbenefit a team to be the absolute worst team in the league, and even if you’re one of the poor-performing teams, you’re still dealing with a 14% chance [of winning the lottery].

“It’s one of these things where there’s no perfect solution, but we still think a draft is the right way to rebuild your league over time. We still think it makes sense among partner teams, where a decision was made where the worst-performing teams are able to restock with the prospects of the best players coming in. So we haven’t come up with a better system.”

One solution to tanking that has recently been going around is the idea of relegation – essentially forcing teams to remain competitive or risk being kicked out of the league with another team replacing them. Silver previously brought up relegation as a possible solution to tanking but also emphasiJohn Wall Jerseyszed that there is no realistic and practical way for it to be implementedNBA Bobbleheads in the NBA.

Via ESPN:

“I can’t say I was deadly serious about relegation, because we don’t have the same system as European soccer and it would make no sense to send an NBA team to the G League or a G League team to the NBA,” Silver said.

“But obviously that is how other leagues deal with situations like this where they force teams to stay competitive because the consequences of finishing at the bottom of the league are dramatically detrimental to the health of the team. But it’s something as I was saying to the folks in Phoenix that we keep our eye on. We understand we are selling competition to our fans.”

NBA owners will never approve relegation, but it is an interesting idea as the league continues to combat tanking.
