Why for Wembanya?

I love basketball and the NBA but I do not understand why any fan, player or GM would want or even think about tanking for any player.. Has the overall competitiveness in sports just died down?? How could grown men who get paid millions of dollars not perform at the highest level on purpose in hope of getting a next generation level talent to then try 100 percent at that point? That is super backwards. Victor Wembenyana is 7’2” and has dribbling and shooting skills. I've seen all the videos. I understand the comparisons and acknowledge and embrace his skillset and talent level but he has not played one NBA game and he has had so much influence on the NBA already. I am so happy that Adam Silver put out a notice that there will be fines and penalties to anyone potentially attempting to tank and the league will be on watch. This is what is needed because I already see it in a few teams. Yes it's gonna come down to lottery pick but these teams want their best chance at Wembanyama and there is no doubt about his talent that is not the question but why pay your current players millions to not play them and play other people and hope they fail. This is ridiculous and disrespectful to the game itself; it has nothing to do with Victor as a player, it is more of a front office issue. The guys in the big seats need to stop controlling the game and let players that get drafted end up where they end up. These GMs really feed into these trade rumors and companies too much. You can see it in their lack of effort and intentional poor decision making. I hope the NBA continues to keep a close eye out on these teams' decision making.
