Tanking is purposefully losing primarily to get a higher draft pick.

[NetsGM]

It is defined in the rules page who decides what tanking is.

It is impossible to define what tanking is because everything's up for interpretation.  Think of us like Supreme Justices.

Intention is the clearest definition of tanking.  HornetsGM is right, any team can develop a pretense as to why you're doing something.  But it's your true intentions that determine if you're tanking.

[RaptorsGM]

Well, obviously it's up to you guys.

My primary reason is to see what settings work best for me. The draft preview really isn't that great anyway

Actually, now that I think about it, "primarily" can be left out.

I'd read about anything else right now.

[NetsGM]

oddly, the home team was only 8-12 during games on days 61-62...

huh?

Might as well trade me emeka for deng and my pick

[Iverson2Korver43]

^^^^That might be a decent deal for you Nets, just so long as he keeps "trying to get a higher pick"...

Rebuilding year.

I could play at a normal pace and probably sneak into the playoffs as the 8th seed, lose in 4.
I'd rather try to find a style of pace that could lead me back to 60 ins next year.

that is the line where it is tanking imo. i agree with the nets and hornets that the goal of each team should be to win as many games as possible.
your experimenting is clearly a goal to loose as many as possible.

And another point is you traded rasho and didn´t change your lineup  
I can´t remmember you did ever a fault like that for two sims in a row.
now demarr Johnson is playing backup C,Pf,SF,SG etc...
you remember the time the sixers tried to tank with a bad lineup. he started to win some games like you now

7-1 sim i like the way my team is responding to my schedule.

had a record game against the knicks at madison garden with 138 points..
5 guys with almost 20 points: JO 40, RJ 19, Ron 18, Melo 28, Fish 20

Derek exploded this sim: avg. 15pts up from a 8pts shooting 60 from the field and 3

increased my point differential, my steals avg and ass.
Damp is earning his mins and i have a tough decision between him and Cato for the starter job.
Parker is the surprise of the season: He is leading the league in Fg% and is a very nice backup for the moment. If he increase his def he will start next year for my team.
