If your definition of fair is that all teams have the same picks over the course of 30 years, ok.

But guess what? Sports leagues don't work like that. They try to give the worst teams a chance to get better by giving them higher picks. In this system, it could effectively wreck a franchise with absolutely not shot of recovery.

The NBA is by far the league with the least parity. So few teams win championships now and this will make it more unfair. Small market teams rarely get high level free agents, so they get compensated with high draft picks when they suck. Imagine a year like last year where the 4/5 pick is really hard cause all of the players arent that good. Or if they make one bad pick theyre fricked. This is so unfair to small market teams its ridiculous.

Drafts in sports leagues don't operate to be "fair" to good teams. They operate, collude, etc to try and give bad teams a chance to be competitive to increase the competitiveness of the league. They are essentially mini-socialist regimes.
Its all about TRYING to create, manufacture competitive balance and give bad teams/small markets a chance in hell.
