The main issue is that the Knicks kinda control their own destiny. They have 5 games against the other bottom teams and that is crucial. We still have 4 ourselves and we could pull it off. We must lose both to the Knicks to have a chance at staying out of the 6th or 7th spot. I think we can pull off losses to the Suns without difficulty, just have Sexton guard Booker one-on-one the entire game. With the Suns being in the West and having only 24 games left, they don't have to do much to lose even if they try not to. I don't think we have to worry about the Bulls, they have the 4 spot locked I think.
With the NBA changing the draft order this year actually makes tanking more of an incentive. It was rare to have the worst team actually win that damn thing anyways even with 25% however, now teams trying to avoid the 6 through 8 is going to take effort.
