The Sacramento Kings aren’t expect to win many games this season according to predictions by ESPN, Las Vegas, and pretty much anyone else you ask. But in the eyes of the eternal optimists among us (bless you all) there’s hope to be found in the form of tanking opponents. The logic is that the Kings have no incentive to tank since they don’t own their first round pick, and that other teams will tank down the stretch leading to more wins for the Kings.
Sactown Royalty editor emeritus and all around robot cat aficionado Walt Williams fan good guy Tom Ziller examined the lay of the tanking landscape for SB Nation today.
