With NBA Trade Deadline now behind us, the crash and burn for tanking teams becomes even more vital. Let’s rank who’s doing the best job of tanking this week and for the rest of the season moving forward.
5. Phoenix Suns
This isn’t on purpose, but you have to give the Suns credit for their ability to lose games to end this season. Phoenix is 3-7 in their last 10, which is the same win rate as teams like the Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards. It doesn’t make a ton of sense for them to lose these games because they owe their pick to the Houston Rockets, but their level of losing deserves a ton of respect here.
