The odds of winning without tanking or signing a star is miniscule

Last title winners:

Denver - didn’t tank for Jokic

Golden State - didn’t tank for Steph

Bucks - didn’t tank for Giannis

Lakers - didn’t tank for Lebron (but does have FA appeal)

Raptors - didn’t tank for Kawhi

Warriors

Warriors

Cavs - tanked for lebron…13 years prior to this and after he decided to come back.

Warriors

Spurs - didn’t tank for kawhi…did do a quick tank for Timmy but Kawhi was FMVP for this title, and still needed Parker and Manu and the rest.

Miami - tanked for D Wade but won because of FA appeal AND friendships

Miami

Dallas - didn’t tank for Dirk

Lakers - didn’t tank for Kobe

Lakers

Celtics - didn’t tank

So 3 of these past title winners won with of FA appeal (LA, Mia x 2) and the rest did not tank, I’d give you 1 if you count that spurs title. So 4 out of the last 16 title winners match your description 😂 God forbid you check stuff before calling other people idiots lol

OKC didn’t tank for their best player, Presti however is next level exec, so they continue rolling with high picks, and he obv has ownership backing to do it.

Wake me up when Minny wins something.
