Sounds like the NBA lottery format is changing

Goal of preventing tanking.

Expanding the lottery to 16 teams.

Bottom three teams won’t have as many balls. Like @jjgold

At some point you have to consider the teams which are just very bad & not assume everyone is tanking

They tried everything but imo there will always be tanking as long as the season is still 82 games. Way too long of a season but nothing will ever be done because there's too much money involved. I don't see eye to eye with a lot of what Steve Kerr says but I agree with him that the season should be shortened.

If you are in the bottom 3 in records the highest you can pick is 4th. Teams need to fight to stay out if the bottom 3. I don’t know of anyone who would tank to pick 4th or later.

it is strange they don't pick the numbers in front of everyone. Makes you wonder?

Just relegate the last 3 teams to the G-League.
