I feel there is legitimate alarm for tanking for tanking's sake. For goodness sake, we still have the Expos home from the Playoffs since 1981 and they've been home since 2005. And, 600 Losses would not be an overnight proposition. It would be shabby management and ownership, the card games getting out of control, and disgruntled players, fans and sponsors.
The most activitity would be at the Trade Deadline. It would be miserable if it was 1 Fire Sale, but annual Fire Sales for equal parts Major and Minor League Talent would be insufferable and cold, even for those whose Hope Sprung Eternal.
And, it would mean winning the Top Pick on an Annual Basis, and every year, you'd draft players against who'd you have on the Program. And, had the Mariners insisted on Southern California Prospects like they did in 1987, it would have been asking for trouble later on.
And, it would wither a long suffering fan bases at the vines. With no fruit, a Major League Roster resembling the Pecos League and cussing tempertantrums in front of a National Television audience, it would be even more debilitating to make a budget to begin with.
It wouldn't be the times close to .500 or the times close to the postseason, an actual sniff of energy in the Fall would have been a rumor.

Dray Day and the Bandana Boats
I feel if there'd be happy angry joy if Draymond Green really was traded for reals and we had a Probertian Reteaming of KD and Westbrook like it was Highway 30. And, the words "Dre Day" wouldn't be celebratory other than getting out the Happy Angries in a big way.
It would be reminiscent to splashing Harrison Barnes in Dallas and crashing the Splash Brothers Party. And with Serge knowing the writing on the wall pre-KD leaving Oklahoma and getting traded.
But, instead of Banana Boats and racing to Summer Vacation, it becomes Dray Day and the Bandana Boats like it was the International Waters. And, the General Managers became even more useless than they are now, which is scarier.
Would there be a Political Push to Trade Westbrook as an attempt to find the Thunder's Ledger? I mean, the only thing tangible this decade is falls and no one knew why?
I don't think tanking works because you not only where bad for nothing, but, worse, having better prospects vs. memories for no real reason is not a good image, either.
