SLUG: nba-puts-nets-on-notice-over-tanking-strategy
The Brooklyn Nets have received a warning from the NBA for what the league views as deliberate losing, commonly referred to as tanking, according to a Feb. 17 report.
The league’s message included threats of possible penalties if the franchise continues its current approach. Despite the pressure, the report indicates the Nets are not expected to alter their long-term plan.
The warning places the organization in a delicate position, forcing team executives to weigh the NBA’s stance against their own rebuilding timeline as the season moves forward.
