The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: The McFlurry Machine Metaphor

I don't think that if you remove guaranteed contracts from basketball that you would get a better product because the teams would still be incentivized to create DMPs or to tell some guy who's never really been that good to go out there and get his numbers and they lose. You have to remove that incentive.

So โ€“ I don't think we need to argue whether it's a problem or not. The perception is out there in whether you're playing. That's the problem.

That's trying to pretend as if it's only perception. It is. It's also fact. Teams are tanking. Let's not... Come on, I mean. Teams aren't tanking. It's not a problem, though. It is a problem. Why is it a problem? Because the game that we got last night, the games where we get where people are trying are a better product.

The idea that it's okay to have some distributors of your product say, you know what? We are going to continuously... purposely put out a trash version of the product stinks. That's not a good precedent to set, and the precedent's been set. That's not a good culture to indulge.

No, it's not backwards thinking. It is backwards. So hold on. Everyone's thinking backwards right now. Can I ask you a question? Mm-hmm. Would you like the NBA better if... No one tanked. If everyone tried their hardest.

No, I think that people โ€“ teams construct their โ€“ or organizations construct teams based on the fact that they are incentivized to be terrible. I think we will be looking at a different NBA. I think we all accept that the NBA is more talented than it's ever been. But we know that some teams are like, you know what? We need to be really bad right now. We construct a roster that way.

We bench players and we have โ€“ Games that are non-competitive that no one cares about. And I guess I wanted to get into some of the solves for tanking, but I somehow found the one man in America who thinks that tanking's not an issue. Even the league, even Adam Silver wants them to stop tanking, but you're like, no, it's cool.
