How about a "NIT"-like tournament for all the teams that didn't make it in. The worst team gets homecourt advantage throughout.
Wanna fix tanking and the NBA's biggest problem? Simple give all 30 teams 1 ball in the lottory

The wheel would ensure that every team in the league is guaranteed a top 6 pick within a 5 year window.
It would work if they go with a hard cap and you can't form a super team.

I think they should take a bucket, place 5 mini basketballs with the bottom 5 team's names on it and roll em down a sort of plinko board that has slots for 1-5 in random order at the bottom. Repeat for picks 6-10 and 11-15
They can do this for the whole draft for real, it adds a little extra interest in the later part of the first round because even if you won the title you might be able to pick up the 25 pick instead of 30

Getting rid of max contracts is the only thing that can help competitive balance
I didn't steal this idea. That charles barkely idea still puts you at a disadvantage if you are the 7th or 8th seed
Tanking and not making the playoffs is still reward
Just give lottery teams one ping pong ball and call it a day...

Ideas y'all come up with

aka bx_representer
But if you're that bad, wouldn't you just lose?
On the flip side, if you're better, why am I gonna bust my ass to have someone possibly replace me? Sounds like something nobody would wanna take part in
7th and 8th seeds put themselves at a disadvantage.

Another idea: instead of dispersing the luxury tax revenue to the teams that didn't pay the tax, pay the non-playoff teams a set amount of money for each win they get over 29 wins (could be set higher or lower...29 is an arbitrary number). Every win over 29 nets that team a million dollars per win. So for example, a 42-42 team that doesn't make the playoffs still gets 13 million from the tax revenue pool (1 mil is an arbitrary number...obviously the number would depend on the amount of tax revenue collected. This past season, the revenue was well over 60 mil).
So every team that tries to tank loses out on that potential revenue. Flaws to it, but I think the NBA could build from that.

The NBA puts them at a disadvantage.
In what way?

I also like the idea of ticket prices being discounted every year you miss the playoffs.
Miss the playoffs for 1 year ticket prices are 10% cheaper next year, 2 years in a row, 20% cheaper, 3 years in a row 30% cheaper, 4 years in a row 40% cheaper, 5 years in row and every consecutive year not making the playoffs after that 50% off.
This gives incentive for the fans to go see these sorry ass teams and it makes the organization take being a perennial loser and embarrassment seriously.
