Inside the NBA's (ongoing?) tanking era

Jake Fischer, Bleacher Report NBA writer, joins the show to talk about his new book Built To Lose: How the NBA's Tanking Era Changed The NBA forever. Jake explains why he centered his reporting on six teams (76ers, Celtics, Lakers, Suns, Magic, Kings), shares some new reporting on some of the NBA's biggest draft and free agency decisions from 2013 to 2015 (for example, why Tim Frazier was instrumental in bringing Joel Embiid to Philly), and examines the larger impact of this time in NBA history. The book comes out on May 4. Preorder here https://www.triumphbooks.com/built-to-lose-products-9781629378718.php?page_id=21   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
