Get rid of the draft. Free agent rookies. It's the only way to fix that garbage of a league
Being the 9th seed beats the shyt out of 8th under this scenario
Being the 9th seed beats the shyt out of being the 8th seed right now
Nah, the 14th vs 15th pick isn't anything. At least fukk around for a couple more games.Being the 9th seed beats the shyt out of being the 8th seed right now
What do you get as an 8th seed?
- The opportunity for some over-time to, most likely, get up to 7 more game -checks for the players.
- The opportunity to try to pull off a miracle while getting your ass beat down by the #1 seed.
1st and foremost draft position should not be determined by your team loses. It should be based on how well the team played over the last 25 or 30 games. So when the season ends whatever teams that missed the playoffs who has the better record over the last 25 games get the most ping pong balls.
Also 8th seeds should not be punished for trying to make the playoffs. They should be included in the lottery.
This system would make almost every game down the stretch count. March/April games would mean something for every team. Hell u would see bad teams making trades at the deadline to compete instead of taking salary dumps

Teams would not shutdown players. So a lot of the teams listed above record could be even better.
I doubt the NBA would do this, but man even a early March or late April game between two bottom feeders would mean something.
Thoughts or tweaks
Tweak- for the no. 1 and no. 3 pick should have the top teams in your structure get the most ping pong balls.
No. 2, 4, 5...10 should give the best odds to the original draft structure of teams with worse records.
Being the 9th seed sucks too. 4 playoff games vs. ONE ping pong ball.Being the 9th seed beats the shyt out of being the 8th seed right now

Bad teams tend to play young guys. That doesn't stop players from ducking situations they don't want, or at least try to.
I think fans stopped drinking that rum laced koolaid a long time ago, doggy. THis aint the NFL where it's one game and anything can happen. Chances are the #8 seed will get knocked out. This aint the 90s when you had #8 seeds that were deep as fukk like the Nuggets when they beat the Sonics
I know. What I'm saying is barely missing the playoffs and all but guaranteeing the 14th pick isn't something to see solace in either.
