9th place team (best record that doesn't make playoff) has best chance at 1st pick, but only marginally better than the last place team.

Would a tournament between the worst 8 teams for the #1 pick work?

Might fix the buyout issue to some degree as well

I hate the buyouts.

For the goal of parity, the worst team is suppose to get the best pick

Losers should never be rewarded for losing

Parity is the whole point. Otherwise, just give the #1 pick to the Champion

I don’t like incentivizing teams 17-23 to be worse

Maybe, but it’d stop the buyout. Cleveland would have kept Drummond for

I agree that the current system that gives so much incentive to teams to tank is

Pay them. The middle and lower class players worried about losing their jobs

macdizzle

4/17/21 7:55pm

my proposal to eliminate tanking is to just get rid of the draft. Let guys sign

This is the worst idea of all-time.

Imagine the Jazz not getting Donovan

bigbossbyu

Donovan was not a high draft pick and not projected to be a star coming out. So

But you would have teams not want 8th or 7th place in the playoffs

Cougar TD

That already happens.

Timing is a huge problem. When do you have it? During the playoffs, then it

cwilke1

4/17/21 7:40pm

Do it after the finals the week before the draft. 8 teams. You could get it done

macdizzle

In parallel like the NIT

CougarCanuck76

4/17/21 7:43pm

maybe its not enough games to keep interest of the fan bases. How about take

cwilke1

4/17/21 7:58pm

Nope single elimination. Every fan base involved would lose their minds

macdizzle

4/17/21 7:59pm

the fans would care a lot in a Lebron year. In a year with no clear-cut stars
