Adam Silver was asked on Saturday about his opinions on the NBA's perceived issue of tanking.

“There’s absolutely no evidence that any team in the NBA has ever lost a single game or certainly in any time that I’ve been in the league, on purpose,” he said. “What you’re referring to I think is rebuilding. And I’m not sure it’s just a function of the collective bargaining agreement. I think there’s a balance with any team of the need to look out to the future and at the same time put a competitive product on the floor.”
