New Utah Jazz President of Basketball Operations Austin Ainge on his philosophy around tanking You won't see that this year

Adam Silver In terms of tanking theres no question that what we saw this season was unprecedented Fans in particular cities and even media were rooting for their teams to tank We had to respond not just to the narrative but to misalignment of incentives once it was an accepted practice

Sam Presti explains why he supports the anti-tank rules put forth by Adam SilverHe thinks it is a good thing it is only for 3 years as it makes it possible to go back from it if it doesn't work not remaining in the box

Sam Presti If there is one thing I'm a little frustrated about besides not winning the final quarter of the season is I think we lost out on a lot of team development
