Detroit — The tank debate is tabled, although for the Pistons, it never was much of a debate. They made their decision a year ago when they traded for Blake Griffin. And Griffin’s outstanding play rendered the decision irreversible, at least for now.
The Pistons are in the playoff field at the moment, and chances are, they’ll be in the playoffs when the season ends. You can argue the wisdom of squeezing in at the expense of draft lottery percentages, but the percentages are so miniscule, it’s not worth arguing anymore.
