For the good of the NBA, shouldn't some of these teams stop tanking?

I'm not saying there was no reason for Utah to rebuild. But what I hope you realize is that tanking can and in Utah's case is part of the rebuilding process for a lot of teams. It just doesn't seem to me that the Jazz did anything to improve in the offseason.

In the case of Ellis, he doesn't make Utah a Champ by himself (no one does) but he would have made the team better. In the right situation like most good players he could be part of a Championship formula, to answer your question.

And I'm not saying the players are coaches are part of the tank. That's almost never done, as far as I know. But when a team doesn't improve the roster, just let's talent walk and goes into a season with Gordon Hayward as the best player? That's how a front office tanks.

Popavich the year before they drafted Duncan. That was blatant tank job. Pure genius though, but a tank job.
