In his annual All-Star Weekend press conference, NBA commissioner Adam Silver expressed his concern about tanking in the league, stating that “everything is on the table” for potential reforms. During a video call with GMs, he reassured Brooklyn Nets GM Sean Marks that any changes would not affect the 2026 NBA Draft, allowing teams to adjust their strategies beforehand. Silver emphasized that the primary incentive for teams next season should be to win games, countering claims that coaches support tanking. Despite a tense discussion, many GMs acknowledged the tanking issue but were cautious about implementing quick fixes.
