The 'Perfect' Solution to End Tanking in the NBA w/ Keith Parish

The Portland Trail Blazers are pushing the boundaries of what intentional losing can look like.

So let's update the standings on their race for the 5th best lottery odds.

Then Keith Parish (Fastbreak Breakfast, Grits and Grinds) joins the show. We get into the rational yet unfortunate world of intentional losses.

Keith pitches a radical anti-tanking solution. A system that rewards bad teams for winning and removes the incentives for chasing losses like benching Shaedon Sharpe for the final eight minutes of a tie game.
