Frank Won't Let Pistons Play For Better Lottery Odds

The Pistons have won seven of their last nine games, which took them from having the second worst record in the NBA to the 24th.

As the team continues to rebuild, some have been concerned how these wins will impact their lottery chances.

"Our job is to give 100 percent, best effort, otherwise we're stealing money," said Lawrence Frank. "As I understand, from a theoretical standpoint, it's a great draft coming up, so let's get a lot of ping balls. But as a player or coach, if we think that way, they should fire us. You can't do it. One, we make a lot of money to go out and do our jobs. Also, for the people that support our team, that would be one heck of an indictment to know that your team wasn't giving its best effort because they were playing for next year."

I think literally no fan would give a rats ass if you tanked intentionally if that meant ending up with Anthony Davis.
I really can't wait till we end up with like the 7th or 8th pick yet again in this draft, thus continuing the same thing the year after because we can't draft a legitimate impact player like Davis.

So in the long run, you are setting yourself up for failure anyways Frank. Not that dumbass making moves for the teams isn't helping. Basically you are obligated to start the declining piece of shit Prince, and to play the probably the most overpaid player in the league in Gordon.

Dumars goes through coaches so often. I wonder if he realizes he has been setting the coaches up for failure with his moronic decisions.

No coach plays for extra ping pong balls

Why would a coach or player tank?

Players won't, coaches won't. But management will.

we had an easy schedule this month anyways, i knew we'd win games but didnt think we'd win this much. we'll still finish in the bottom six and hopefully lock up a top five pick. but i dont like all these wins, id rather us lose as much as we can so next season we can have another young guy step in and make an impact with gmoe and knight.

Of course he's not playing for the lottery, that means he gets canned.
