The 2014 NBA draft is supposed to be much like 2003 with Lebron, Carmelo, Bosh, D-Wade. Maybe deeper, a real build your franchise type draft.

Many would like the Bucks to tank to get into the top part of the draft, but how bad does a team have to be?

In the Eastern Conference there is a good chance that 10 games under .500 will get you an 8 seed.
Below .500 may still get you a 6 seed.

With the number of teams looking like they plan to tank, especially in the East, it is very likely there will be teams with only 20 something wins (more than 50 losses) that will be picking outside of the top 10. Tank the season but not as well as the others, go 28-54 and end up getting the 12 pick. That would be brutal.
