If you believe you need to have the worst record, then yes, tank is probably stuck in the mud.
If you believe trading away any of Lowry/Amir/DeRozan for cap space/picks/prospects is unlikley to make a difference on this team's success, then yes, the tank is probably stuck in the mud.
If you believe that being 4 wins out of the 2nd worst record in the league with 54 games to go then yes tank is probably stuck in the mud.
Chad Ford is a stubborn person as well it would appear:
Ahmad (Montral)
Hollinger Playoff's Odds shows the Raptors having 98.4% possibility of making the playoffs, 3rd in the East after Pacers & Heat. Do you think the Raptors will settle on this and continue to push for a playoff berth or do you hear otherwise?

I don't think that's the plan. High-fiving everyone that the team got a high seed in the playoffs with a losing record. I think Masai Ujiri thinks more long term than that. He really has one player, Jonas Valanciunas, that he's really excited about. Toronto isn't a huge free agent destination so, the draft is the way to go about rebuilding. I've said it before, but I think more trades are coming for Toronto.
Going 7-3 again over the next 10 though is likely to have me singing a different tune though. We'll see what happens!

Kyle Lowry: 9+ assists in each of last 4 games, 20+ points in 4 of 5. Last five: 22.4 ppg, 9.2 ast, 5.6 reb, 14/30 from 3pt range, 32-37 FT

It would appear the Lowry of the first 3 games of 2012-13 has returned.

Does MU move Lowry or keep him? If he moves him how many losses pile up? Those are two questions that will help me personally determine if the tank is happening or not. And for me a 'tank' means having the 6th worst record in the league (or worse).

I've got a thread I've been meaning to put up for a while about why he is the ideal tank driver.
Maybe one day soon.

Bulls have won 3 of 4 after losing 7 of previous 8. They've dropped 5 of last 6 at home. With Jimmy Butler this season: 9-8, without: 3-9

That would put us at 18-15 with most of our difficult intraconference games taken care of. That would also make us 12-3 without Gay and likely on track to win 50 games.
I don't see it happening at all.
