All lottery teams should just have the same odds IMO. It could eliminate blatant tanking among the cellar-dwellers tbh.
I still say get rid of the lottery entirely and just do it like the NFL. You're never going to stop tanking due to the nature of the sport, and prolonging the worst teams' rebuilds because they got unlucky with lottery balls does approximately jack and to improve the product.
They should introduce a onegame knockout tournament to decide the lottery.
9th seed gets home-court etc.
More revenue. More games. Less tanking.
I mean teams like the Lakers, 76ers and Suns for example shouldn't get rewarded for shamelessly putting an inferior product. OTOH, how great it would be, if teams like Denver, Detroit and Miami who were all on the cusp of making the playoffs with a chance to draft guys like Markelle Fultz, Lonzo Ball or Josh Jackson?
Keep it the way it is now, but give the player the option to opt out after the 1st year. That way if the team that drafted him isn't seeing progress, he can instantly become a free agent.
As long as there's the rookie scale most of them would opt out regardless to take more money.
how about reward teams base on team standings with share of profits?
if u continue to tank or crap the bed...u don't get a share of the pie...getting lottery picks don't mean if they become draft busts...
No player would sign up for that and it would need to be added to the Collective bargaining. Besides current players don't give a about some in coming rookies trying to replace them.
Players will fight for their team's rights to replace them with a higher ceiling rookie?I wouldn't think the agents of upcoming FAs would even allow them to play in such games.
