"Rebuilding", "Retooling", "Restocking", "Tanking" all meant the same things IMO. The "priority" is not on winning.
I just googled "definition of tanking in pro sports" and this is from the first hit I got: [
en.as.com]
Tanking is purposely creating a bad team while intending to lose games in order to win high draft picks.Is that honestly what you think the Rams are doing?!?
The other terms you mentioned might lead to a team losing a bunch of games. The difference is with tanking losing as many games as is the objective, not an unfortunate byproduct.
There in no way the Rams are building a roster with the intention of losing as many games as possible in order to improve their draft position. As such they are not tanking.
