My thoughts and Solution to the "Tanking Problem" The real problem isn't that Utah is tanking, it's that they have to out-tank teams that keep tanking. Once you get 3 top picks in 5 years you should be removed from the lottery. Go figure it out and let other...

Charles Barkley shares his idea on how to fix tanking: "Teams have just been tanking for 3 months. Every team who does not make the playoffs should get 1 ball. You can't improve your chances losing. Every team gets 1 ball. That is the fair way to do it. Only with our stupid NBA crap. Come on man. Just give everybody 1 ball and that would stop tanking"

Bad teams don’t tank because they are dying to lose for six months straight, alienate fans and create bad habits for their young players. They do it because they have to – the NBA just doesn’t give bad teams a lot of avenues to get better. And a number of the “tanking solutions” that have been proposed would actually make it even HARDER for bad teams to climb out of the bottom of the standings. Flatten the lottery odds? So you’re proposing giving good teams a *better* chance to get the best rookies and bad teams a *worse* chance than they have now? Yeah, that’s bad for the league, bad for fans, bad for players. The NBA needs to focus on creating more pathways to improve, so tanking isn’t the only way - and in my opinion that means holding bad owners accountable too.

Iman Shumpert says Bam scoring 83 on the Wizards, is how you prevent teams from tanking: “We keep talking about how we’re going to stop tanking, this is how you stop the tanking. Thank you Bam for doing that. Put your foot on the gas, slit somebody’s throat. You don’t want to put your best foot forward? We’re going to put you right in the dirt. That’s exactly what Bam went and did. He was in murder mode from the jump and I love It!” (Via NBA on ESPN)

my biggest concern regarding the NBA's new anti-tanking rules: "i understand wanting to push teams away from the idea of tanking, but i'm confused how legitimately bad teams who are competing (and still losing) are supposed to get better?" CBS Sports

“This 2026 draft pick is better than any other asset they have. Player, draft pick, cap space, this is the best asset they have and you should be doing all you can to maximize this pick and the Nets have not gone to the same lengths as these other tanking teams.” - Erik Slater

Expanding the NBA lottery from 14 to 18 teams is more likely to fuel tanking than put an end to it The proposed solution rewards the bottom 10 records with an equal 8% shot at the top pick, while the remaining teams would all have an equal 2.5% chance None of this actually addresses the root issue: Losing has been made an EXTREMELY valuable strategy in a sport where competition is supposed to be paramount Brian Windhorst on The Hoop Collective Pod, "“I had an executive tell me the number one pick this year is worth $100 million. That if you gave the opportunity to buy that pick, teams would pay $100 for it" All an 18 team lottery does is pave the way for 4 more teams to prioritize tanking. Do not kid yourself. If losing games is even remotely tied to receiving a better pick teams will do it...because they are not dumb

Adam Silver admits tanking is worst this year than previous seasons but speaks on the caveats that the teams face: “It’s not what the fans what although my caveat is and teams are in a difficult place because many of you have written the worst place to be is a middle of the road team and either be great or be bad, because that will help you with the draft”

"It is fixed... fixed so the worst tanking teams don't win the lottery... Essentially the draft lottery now is like the local raffle." @ColinCowherd pushes back on the idea that the NBA "rigged" the lottery draft in favor of the Dallas Mavericks.
