No team/owner/headcoach/player will EVER go into a new season with the intention to "tank". There is just too much at stake. Will a owner be happy if attendance at games goes in a downward spiral if the team doesn't perform? NO! Will players be happy if their value goes down if they are not put in a postion to shine? NO! How about the coach(es)? Do you think they'd be happy with a dismal season? NO! WE WERE NOT PLANNING ON TANKING AT ANY POINT....
