Hello, this is a call to all of those that have been drowned out by the constant tanking rhetoric on these foums.
Personally, I am of the belief that tanking this season, and potentially the next would make the raptors a better team. But this thread is not for those beliefs!
I am sincerely interested to hear well thought out, structured opinions on what strategy the raptors should pursue as an alternative to tanking. Please be civil.
I'm not asking for research papers here, but I find well backed up arguments much more convincing.
Please, for those on the "tanking side", do not hijack this thread and turn it into a flame war. Let this be a depository of information and arguments.
Why do you not want to see the raptors tank? Will it make them worse in the long term? Will the basketball be unbearable to watch?
How do you see the raptors moving forwards? What pieces are missing from this team that could help bring the Raptors to where YOU expect them to be?
I am sincerely curious to hear the other side of this argument.
Note: I am aware that no strategy is guaranteed to pan out. As a fan, I would like to pursue the one that provides the most likelihood of success.
Finally: I made this thread because I would like to hear an argument constructed from the bottom up. I feel like many of the "anti-tankers" (I hate that term) have had to produce arguments mid-way through threads, and their arguments are then taken out of context and the whole idea gets sidetracked.
