Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban calls tanking "brutal" but acknowledged that he told his team that it would be best to lose for the rest of the 2017-18 season.


Cuban told Julius Irving on the House Call with Dr. J podcast that he shared that sentiment with the team recently.


"I'm probably not supposed to say this, but, like, I just had dinner with a bunch of our guys the other night, and here we are, you know, we weren't competing for the playoffs. I was like, 'Look, losing is our best option,'" Cuban said on the podcast. "Adam [Silver] would hate hearing that, but I at least sat down and I explained it to them. And I explained what our plans were going to be this summer, that we're not going to tank again. This was, like, a year-and-a-half tanking, and that was too brutal for me. But being transparent, I think that's the key to being kind of a players owner and having stability."

So tough in the NBA to turn it around.
On the flip side, once a team gets to the top, extremely difficult to knock them off.

Take away the Pats, and the NFL is a revolving door. Worst to first in Div. happens on a regular basis.

Look at the Celts. 3-4 years of good moves/drafting/trades etc.
Might never see a finals as constructed.

The Sacramento Kings have been trying to lose every game.
Their coach acts like its still preseason; the top minute holder is at 27 minutes a game.
