Philly should be pissed. They shouldn't let this go through until a few years from now. Not fair considering all of the trades involving picks. You can't just change the value of picks that have been traded.
frick the 6ers. theyve gone way beyond the spirit of NBA rebuilding and turned it into a mockery. seems most teams and adam silver agree with me...



and ultimately, it will lessen the reward for losing games intentionally, unintentionally. which will be better overall for the sport.

They are embracing the rules that are in place with the risk of pissing off their fans. They still haven't ended up with a #1 pick from the tank, so the lottery is working.

They aren't breaking any rules. They've realized that you likely aren't winning anything meaningful in the NBA without at least 2 superstars and outside of the possible FA splash the only way of doing it is through the draft.

They were burned big time by the Andrew Bynum trade.
