I wouldn't describe what PcB did as tanking because his season was already over when he did it. Again, I think the problem with the Gordon situation is more timing that anything.
You don't want the last week or 2 of the playoffs being a free-for-all with people looking for players once they are eliminated from the playoffs, or don't make the playoffs, or hell make the championship game but know they aren't going to use a player in that game and trying to find keepers for next year after the season is effectively over.
Keepers are supposed to be players that are used in one year and are kept to the next. That's the problem with the Gordon situation. Going forward, a deadline probably fixes this problem, but we still have this problem to deal with for this year.
PcB is no worse off if he can't keep Gordon than if we had a deadline rule in place last year.

This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena. ![[Image: ITgoyeg.png]](http://i.imgur.com/ITgoyeg.png)
