Proposal details: four worst teams would have equal 12 percent chance to win No. 1 pick. Worst team could fall no lower than No 7.
Four teams w/ best record would have, in order, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2.5% chance at No. 1 pick and better chance than today of moving into top-6
Under current rules, worst team has 25% chance at No. 1. Second-worst: 19.9%. Third-worst: 15.6%. Proposal would give 4 worst equal 12% odds
And to be clear: Any change approved in October (or later in season) could — and probably would — go into effect for this draft lottery

Thankfully we got our franchise player before the league overreacted to sports journalists overreacting to bad teams being bad. Just think if we were trying to build around TRob and Eric Gordon right now, which is what things were looking like before winning the lottery. We might be one of the teams stuck in no man's land when the league made it harder to escape.

If you want to get rid of tanking, just make it so all 14 teams have the same odds. And make all 14 picks in the lottery not just the first 3.
Would make for some hilarity when a .500 team has the #1 pick and a 12 win 6ers team is picking 12th or so, but would make the NBA draft lottery "must see TV" in my opinion.

huge over reaction to the sixers
what i dont understand is why the other owners care if a team goes on a multi-year tank
all that means isther is one less good team to worry about. i wish one of the teams in the pels division would tear it down philly-style
more wins for us

Adam Silver is not good for this league. He's hellbent on making a drastic change that he can claim as "his" when there is really no point.

does he mean four LOTTERY team with the best record or is every team league-wide (including those in the playoffs) now in the lottery?

The only change I wouldn't mind seeing is preventing a team from getting a lottery pick multiple years in a row.
So that way teams like Philly and Cleveland would have to start picking 4th at some point.

Thankfully, the lottery will be irrelevant for the Pelicans for at least a decade.
