NBA Contemplating Eliminating The Draft Lottery: Check Out The Possible Replacement

That Pretty Much Encourages Tanking Though Doesn't It?

I Dont See What The Problem Is With The Lottery (If It Stayed True To An ACTUAL Lottery And Isnt Fixed)

The idea of having the most lottery balls encourages tanking as well. It's kind of pointless to have it when it doesn't stop anything.

I believe the worst team should get the first pick regardless.

It's like they are doing all of these things (like the one year of college rule) to protect dumb GM's from doing dumb shyt.

I feel you, but teams still tank even with the possibility of backfiring, no? The lottery supposed to stop teams from tanking, and I don't think it does.

It's not a bad idea.

How if Barnes would have come out during Kyrie Irvings draft he would have been a top 3 pick. Since he stayed an extra year he fell to 7th because the extra year in college exposed his weaknesses.

THats all i can think of regarding his draft.

Unless it was a traded pick or something

Then teams are going to continue to tank. No getting around that.

The most obvious solution is a lottery where every non-playoff team gets the same amount of ping-pong balls. Draw is done transparently live.

 

[phillycavsfan]

Simmons brought up an interesting idea. How about a lottery where the amount of ping pong balls lottery teams get is based on their 3 year record?

The real issue isn't tanking or the draft, it's free agency.

 

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

Better yet, I meant guaranteed deals + free agency

Turn it into the price is right and let the fukkery commence

It's an interesting idea. At the same time, there are organizations that know how to draft wherever they are slotted and a majority that have no idea what they are doing.

....for the love of all things sacred, THIS.

A "wheel" can't account for OR fix human stupidity.
