be auctioned for credits. Credits can be awarded based on different outcomes. For example, for each consecutive year you miss the playoffs but don't get a top 5 pick, you get more credits than the previous year. For each consecutive year you make the playoffs but don't make it to a conference finals you get more credits than the previous year. This eliminates tanking and rewards teams for winning. It also accounts for the fact that there's a big variance between the quality of drafts. In this draft, picks would be cheap. In next year's draft, picks would be expensive. Make it so, NBA.
