As weird as it sounds I've heard Simmons is actually a person who is in the nba's ear a lot and that they listen

I love the ideas proposed in this and that was something that I was saying they need to add. Push it so that the draft is more than just the top 3 picks. Now if you completely tank like Bucks and 76ers you are still guaranteed top 5 pick with one of the two worst records. I prefer spreading out the chances of getting one of the top 6 picks across more teams. Make it so that a middle of the road team has a much better chance of getting lucky and getting an early pick. Overall it's damn near impossible to remove tanking without shytting on legitimately bad teams. I just hate how the average to middle of the road teams are just screwed in the current system.

How is that a solution? The point of the draft is to try to help out the worst teams, not reward the best of the bad teams.
Phoenix didnt tank, they got hit with injuries and ran outta gas.

Outside of this year, teams haven't tanked in years.
They should do what NFL did with the lottery, it's just more fair.
Thank you.
The problem is not tanking.
The problem is that the 7,8 and 9th place is the worse position to be in.
Fighting for a playoff spot is the last thing you want to do in the NBA

They should implement The Wheel and a tournament for all teams below 7th seed for the final spot in their respective conferences. Have a week break before the actual playoffs, give every team a legit shot at playoffs, raise the intrigue.

Because the so called worst teams are the worst teams because of bad gm's and greedy owners look at how long the clippers were bad and sterling was making a killing for decades so basically gifting them lottery picks that are probably going to ruin anyway isnt going to change much

Then why have a lottery at all? Lets give all the GOOD teams the top picks so we know they'll handle them right!
I don't know too many fan bases that would be happy with intentionally losing for a 11% chance at the #1 pick. And even if you finish with the worst record, you could still fall to pick 7, since they want to make the first 6 picks decided by lottery.
I like it. This sort of systems makes shyt like Philly is trying to do not worthwhile. I want a system where teams are not benefitted with continually winning the lottery.
There should also be an anti-Cleveland Rule instituted. Anyone who wins the lottery is banned from winning it again in the next 3 seasons.
