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.
