I like the part about no lottery back to back...that's interesting, but it also means a team like Sacremento or the Knicks would probably be in the running for the 1st pick. And while selfishly, I think it's great, on the fair spectrum it is not helping the teams that need it and it's like time delaying the help. If a team improves that drastically, that means they don't need the help and are already on the right track. I think there has to be a cutoff, and I think the playoffs are a good one. I think they just need to tweak the process. I would get rid of the lottery all together. It removes all bull**** conspiracy theories. I think the way I proposed leaves responsibility directly on teams and doesn't leave room to question the integrity of the game. You win, you get the top pick. Maybe top 3 in the tournament get the top 3 picks and from there down. IDK, i kinda just feel there has to be a better way. ~You can't run from who you are.~

But in your example - with Wemby coming out this year. Couldn’t a very good team like say the Bucks - completely tank the 2022 season with the intention of posting a great win differential with a great 2023 record. When there is a great player in draft - teams would find ways to tank regardless if it’s a year earlier. |

You have the Pop leaving if they don’t get #1, you have the Duncan/Robinson #1 overall history and the French history with Parker/Diaw…maybe missing someone else. I don’t know - try to tell myself this stuff isn’t fixed but this just felt too perfect. |
