Shams: NBA Board of Governors will meet on May 28 to vote on anti-tanking draft lottery reform.

Option 1 has gained the most momentum:

- 18 teams in lottery: Bottom 10 that miss Play-In and 8 that qualify
- Bottom 10 teams each have 8% chance of moving up in lottery
- Other 8 teams split 20% odds of moving up
- All 18 spots drawn as part of lottery

This is just bringing us back to the 1985 lottery rules to a degree.

Main difference between the two is that the odds will be weighted rather than even.

The only way to fix the draft lottery / tanking is to flip it and give the best odds to the teams that just missed the playoffs, instead of giving the best odds to the worst teams.
