I feel like this means Orlando should embrace the tank, trade Vucevic and Gordon for a very nice return

With the next draft expected to be amazing, they should really all out tank

but that's a relative term

none are good, so no reason to tank

chasing the 8th seed treadmill is not a good reason to keep the status quo, you would value tanking more in a year where the draft is top heavy like the 2021 draft is projected to be

orlando just took a game off the 1 seed with their backups

shouldn't be an issue next year to win the east

they did that in 2019-20 playoffs too against the Champs

therefore winning 1 game against the 1 seed is indicative of winning 1 game against the 1 seed the following year

kawhi a proven champ, he went west
