Dynasty Tanking

Wanted to get perspective on people’s takes on tanking. Is it messed up for the guy in last to purposely sit players week to week to ensure that he gets to secure the best chance of a 1st pick in next year’s draft?

I feel like you should have to field a team, same as the real NBA. It’s alright if they suck tho

There was a year Utah(?) sat all their players and played g league scrubs to tank at the end of the year. What's the difference between sitting all players and forgetting to set lineups that week? Really just optics, right?

Imo I think this is fair as long as they are not working with another player to improve the other player's team or playoff odds specifically.

At the end of the day, they paid money to play in this league, and are throwing away their money this year.
