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

Sources: NBA eyes new anti-tanking proposal for draft lottery

The NBA has proposed a new anti-tanking draft reform that expands the lottery, flattens odds and penalizes the bottom three teams, sources told ESPN.

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.

He said balls.

Doesn't matter...NBA rigs lottery whenever they want

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.

I don’t agree with this at all

So you’re top pick turns out to be a bum, or a case like Coooer Flagg no matter how good you are impossible to improve the team with scrubs around you l, and you get penalized for it

Total Nonsense

• No team would be able to win the top pick in consecutive years or be able to win three consecutive top-five picks.

I hadn't heard about the Utah Jazz that many times Feb-Mar since John Stockton and Karl Malone. I could not believe anyone would give a shit about the Jazz tanking. Dude, it is about time. Since Larry Miller died the team has been an abomination. I'm not a Jazz fan but hey wtf, that was a playoff team every year no matter what and a building other teams had no luck in. Now? Too busy changing jerseys every year.

I actually think the that team gets sold and franchise moved to Seattle in the next 10 years. Call me crazy.

That was an awesome team with Stockton, Hornacek, and Malone

They would have been back to back NBA champions, if not for the same guy standing in their way as did other teams too…Michael Jordan
