Rebuild End Goal

[IwishIwasZachLowe]

In order for your tank/rebuild to lead to championship, you need to get a high position in draft and draft flawlessly. Lets face, even OKC who drafted, KD, R.W, J.H and S.I was not able to win it all yet

It's true. But what they did with Harden was dumb. For two, you need a sliver of luck to win it all. Look at the Cavs, they did everything right, and deserve to win it all one can say. Without Love and Kyrie, no chance. Injury bug bites at the wrong time like OKC. In saying that, they're a contender every year and have been for four years. You can't say that about the Raptors now or at anytime in our sad existence.

OKC model? Drafting 3 MVP candidates? (1 already MVP) That will not happen again in 20-30 years.

Could happen with Minnesota in the next two drafts. Who knows. Unlikely, but who knows.

sustained excellence. It has to start with the front office putting together a staff (scouts, coaches, etc.) that enables top quality drafting and player development, and then you have to go out and get picks to draft good guys. I would rather see 1,2,3 years of tanking than another single season of shitty mediocre play from a team built around a fatally flawed "star".

As for roster makeup, well, talent wins over most physical characteristics (within reason).

When will it be fair to judge Sixer' s tank?
