S6 Ep38: Why the NBA Will Never Solve Its Tanking Problem (+ All-NBA Teams & MVP Race)

Is the NBA's tanking crackdown really about the fans - or is it there a much darker reality? Mo Mooncey and 2x NBA Championship-winning coach Brendan Suhr break down all seven anti-tanking proposals discussed by Adam Silver and the 30 owners - and give every single one an honest grade.From draft lottery odds to flattening the picks, from rookie free agency to freezing odds at the trade deadline - Mo and Brendan pull apart each proposal and explain exactly why none of them will work. Plus, Mo makes his case for what really is the real driving force behind the sudden urgency to fix tanking - and why the league's bigger problems aren't getting the same attention.Then it's into the All-NBA debate. Who makes the first team? Is it SGA's MVP to lose? Is Wemby already a lock for Defensive Player of the Year for the next decade? And what's going on with the Houston Rockets?
