tanking is a bigger problem than the worst teams not getting the highest picks. you completely eliminate tanking by putting every team in the league in the lottery with equal odds except the two teams in the finals who will get the last two spots in the 1st round. all the first 28 spots are drawn too, if the worst team gets the 28th pick so be it.


The problem with your logic is even if every team tried their absolute hardest to win every game of the season there’s still gonna be bad teams. So how do those teams improve?

before this season, utah tried their best for two years so like..... :mjlol:
yeah they been positioning themselves to get Flagg for two seasons now. I am actually interested to see what they do. Cause there are no great white hypes on the horizon to pivot their hopes onto.

They’re going to tank again next season bc OKC will get their pick if it’s outside the top 8

No great white hope but the possible #1 pick is going to BYU this season so hopefully for them Silver likes that storyline :manny:

There’s no such thing as bad teams, just teams that don’t work hard :hubie:
you wouldnt eliminate bad teams because everything is relative but you would eliminate the incentive for teams to be purposely bad or purposely lose games. teams wouldnt actively be trying to make their roster worse or essentially throwing games by sitting starters for a whole quarter or a half in a game that theyre leading. i dont necessarily agree that it would kill the currency of draft capital or that it would halt trade movement though there would be an adjustment period under a new system and market. now obviously theres no chance this would ever get implemented because theres just too many unknowns and no protections, but i'd rather just remove the incentive to lose and let the chips fall where they may much like a relegation system.

the problem with the current system while you lessen the odds for the worst teams youre just encouraging more teams to tank. you go back to the old system and you end up with similar results. also the new cba potentially opens up the opportunity for more teams to be competitive because the best teams cant hoard talent because the financial burden and restrictions on roster maintaining becomes too punitive.

Yea like we didn’t just have a guy get drafted 2nd overall. At least Bama fans are smart enough to realize that Sears isn’t a NBA player unlike yall dumbass Auburn fans thinking Broome is gonna be a great NBA player. I would say stick to football but you don’t know shyt about that sport either.
I have never seen the phrase Bama fans and the word smart in the same sentence ever in my life.
