The organic tank has begun, with injuries making the clear decision for them.
I know there's a concern of running Kyrie into the ground. That's not a concern if you're organically tanking. Plus, he's "due" for another injury.
If recent games are an indication, playing Klay a lot is a great way to deliberately (as opposed to organically) tank.
As for the concerns of not having a high pick, I think Silver will solve that issue for them in return for gifting Luka to the NBA's marquee franchise.
Edit: Oh, and something else, starting Kylor or OMax at the center position - which because of injuries they have no choice but to do - is very effective if the goal is to lose games. I think 2-8 at best over the next 10 games is a pretty safe bet.
