Random rant here:
I think the concept of the draft/tanking in general is a moral dilemma, because you can look at it and go "well if you really cared about competing and pride you'd try and win even when you were done" but you can also look at it and go "if we lose as many games as possible, we can get a better player in the draft and that is better for the team in the long run." Like, being real here, despite the stigma put on this course of action, every team that is out of the playoff race should just sit their starters and aim for the best draft spot possible as soon as they're out if they're thinking of the long-term health of the team, but that doesn't happen, so it gets magnified when someone does intentionally sit their starters, and even more when that affects someone's playoff run. In the end I think each team has to look out for #1, as you've stated Shattered, but it doesn't make it any easier or less controversial of a decision to make when that decision affects a playoff scenario.

End tangent.
