What an absolutely terrible idea. I'm sure the League LOVES the idea, because guess what? It keeps the teams with deep pockets in power even more.

The bad teams don't get "rewarded for being bad" and have to just stay on the treadmill forever.

Meanwhile, a team that is already great could get the 1,2,3 pick in a random year, STILL be great, and spend money on Free Agents that obviously only want to go to those situations.

And players will stay in school another year to not have to go to Charlotte or Milwaukee or Minnesota (or New Orleans, lets be honest).

The five smallest-market teams have a better cumulative record over the past seven seasons than the five biggest-market teams do.

I agree with you. I like the lottery a lot better. Even teams that tank arent assured the #1 pick. The Pelicans are a good example of that.

Imagine one of the top teams falling in line to nab a once in a generation player coming out in the draft. That wouldnt make the league better
