Sounds like you don't get it.

The old system: The more you lose, the higher your pick. Teams occasionally tanked, so the NBA tried to eliminate it with...

The current system: The more you lose, the better the chance you have of getting a high pick. It is possible that we have teams currently tanking. The NBA cannot have this. That's why we're hearing about....

The proposed system: The draft is predetermined and equitable, eliminating any possibility of a benefit from tanking.

The whole tanking thing doesn't bother me. These are bad teams that are already going to lose over 50 games. So instead they lose 60. So what? It's not like these teams are on the cusp of being good and are competing worth a crap anyway.

I understand that the NBA is looking to always have a competitive quality product on the court. Thing is, without losing those extra games to get that player they need those teams will stay bad and never get better.
