It defeats the purpose of the worst team getting the #1 pick if they can game the system and get top picks repeatedly. Of course teams can fukk up anyway and not win shyt like the Sixers

I think situations like the Mavs resting Kyrie and Luka the last two games to avoid the play in and go to the lottery should’ve resulted in Dallas losing the FIRST round pick. If that’s also a part of it then your idea could work.
Not being able to get a top 5 in consecutive years is the easiest (not perfect but whatever)
Locking in the lottery by march 1 does nothing…it actually gives the bad teams more reason to not give a fukk the last month or so since they already know their fate

If they are consistently ass then it doesn’t matter that they got the first pick every year though. They need to get rid of their FO, and try again.
many of the teams that are consistently ass haven't even had a 1st round pick in over a decade
the last time the wizards picked #1 was john wall
utah has literally never picked 1st

The Takeover

Give every team that doesn't make the playoffs the same draft odds. Teams will play hard as fukk, and we'll see what they're really capable of. Fans will be more invested. Any form of tanking will be completely dead. If bad teams stay bad, fukk em, make management changes.
That is true. 86/100 someone else other than the worst team will get the #1 pic in repeated sampling.many of the teams that are consistently ass haven't even had a 1st round pick in over a decade

But it’s a 100% chance that you get a top 5 pick. And as we know top 5 guys used to fill a majority of the starting positions in the league. But having a starting quality player does not mean that he’ll be Dylan. It’s picking Dylan that’s the hard job.
So I mean, tanking to the worst will give you a top 5, but the probability of getting #1 is still small although as big or bigger than anyone else’s. So tanking for #1 really doesn’t matter as statistics rely on the concept of repeated sampling.
But I guess that it might become more important with a hard cap, as going into the FA market instead of drafting a starter will not be as easy
