Given a lot of these teams track record on drafting and actually developping players that's a pretty big bet, but hey to each his own

Ainge rebuilt the Celtics from a tanking lottery team to contender twice, Utah can do much worse in terms of track record

Which has been my whole point from the very beginning : if you know how to draft and develop players, you don't need a number one draft pick. Ainge didn't draft anyone at number one while building those two contenders.
It’s not about having a number one pick, it’s about picking high. Of course the #1 pick is what you covet because you get to pick the player at the top of your draft board but you want to be in the mix to get elite prospects and the higher you draft the more likely it is.
Ainge didn’t need a #1 pick to draft Smart, Brown & Tatum but he did need the Celtics to win 26 games, then the Nets to win 20 and 21 to be in position to draft them

My point is specifically about the number one pick. That's what I've been adressing about for like ten posts now.
Maybe just reward the competitive non-playoff teams with higher odds to win the lottery or even give em those picks outright. It expedites that team’s development into a contender while worse teams need to actually try to be competitive in order to further build their roster.
I think the real issue is bad front offices and owners that can sell tickets and merch by selling to fans that they might be competitive this year or they might lose enough games to get a guy. I think if front offices are forced to do their jobs properly it’ll result in less tanking because the incentive to tank will be gone.

this season, the tanking problem has gotten more egregious than ever. there's like 1/3 of the league currently tanking.
they might have to start giving ALL the non-playoff teams equal odds to win the lottery to disincentivize this bullshyt.
and we are now at the point where if u even consider buying tickets to a game in march/april, you are basically throwing money out the window cuz you never know who they will put on the phony "injury report".
the NFL has it where the worst team gets the #1 pick, but they aren't ever out there blatantly tanking.

The Colts and suck for Luck years ago says otherwise.
Not to mention you have teams out here blatantly tanking by benching starting QBs and essentially throwing seasons in the process.

Flattening the odds just will do nothing but change who tanks. At that point a team fighting for a play-in spot will likely see it more worthwhile to fall out the playoffs and take a chance on hitting in the lottery.
Also in the NFL it's simply harder to tank due to the effect one or two big plays can have on a game. Players are never the ones tanking, it's management and coaches. Same as the NFL. But in the NFL all it takes is a pick 6 or for someone to break a long run to steal a game.

Yup, said this years ago.
That will shut that shyt down quick.
Give ALL teams one lottery ball each and see how quick that tanking shyt stops. Even if you give non playoff teams 2 lottery balls, and the playoff teams 1 lottery ball, that still will draw fukkery.
Imagine the NBA champs this year getting the #1 pick.
GMs would be so fukkin furious

Why are people so bothered by tanking? If my team is trash and have no shot at seriously competing I’d rather tank, than to waste time trying to compete for the play in. That play in is for teams who are built and want to compete and win.
If they ended the season April 1, it would’ve been better for everyone involved. I read somewhere that Jerami Grant hasn’t played an April game this decade. That’s a fukking joke, if they want to keep things at 82 games they need new strategies like banning teams from a top 4 pick back to back years. But the first common sense solution should be to cut these games.
