Miami Heat 1-on-1: Is tanking really the right answer?

Imran Ebrahim (@iebrahim81): I’m most definitely for the Miami Heat tanking. It doesn’t have to be a “Trust The Process” type of tank, with an elaborate five-year plan and coach and/or general manager scapegoats in the process. I just want a simple, fight for a top-10 pick, where the young guys are playing an exorbitant amount of minutes, and some of the heavy contracts are traded away at almost any means necessary. Right now, and no offense to the Portland franchise, but Miami is becoming the Trailblazers of the Eastern Conference. They’re in a never-ending cycle of fighting for a low playoff seed, only to get eliminated extremely early in the game, end up with a No.
