Sources: Potential changes to the NBA Draft that have generated interest at the ownership level include limiting protections after the top 4 & freezing the lottery standings on an early date mid-year. Nothing is set in stone but changes to limit tanking is a key discussion point.

"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.

on tanking in the NBA: "there used to be a level of decorum about tanking. you used to tank, but it wasn't so egregious (...) it's disrespectful to what the NBA is supposed to represent and that is the best league in the world." CBS Sports

Isaiah Evans could make NBA teams uncomfortable on draft night. You can point to the defense. You can point to the rebounding. But NBA spacing changes when shooters at the top end of this archetype are on the floor 💯 Do you buy his gravity enough to look past his flaws?

Bulls are taking on expiring contracts and draft picks, downgrading the roster to lose games, and aiming for a top pick in the draft. this is what tanking looks like in practice. it is not pretty, and that is the point.

THE WHOLE VIDEO IS SPOT ON: “We have movements that feel radical but function safely inside the system. We have protests that express anger but protect capital. We have activism that produces awareness but not redistribution. Nothing changes because nothing is forced to change.”

O'Brien’s right. The monarchy costs £102.4 million annually, but only brings in £1.8 billion. Stripping Andrew’s titles is just a symbolic move nothing changes in the system that keeps the elite at the top. #AbolishTheMonarchy

One of the big winners from the NBA Draft Combine is Thomas Sorber. Measuring in at over 6’10” in shoes with a 7’6” wingspan, Sorber is viewed as a potential lottery pick. The 19-year-old averaged 14.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.5 stocks at Georgetown.

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
