https://sports.yahoo.com/inside-nbas-mission-abolish-tanking-143417404.html I don't see how this will change much... besides making draft night more interesting.. you can still tank to be one of those "top" 3 teams.
I think that particular plan makes tanking worse. Fighting for the three top slots. The wheel idea was better. Or simply barring teams from getting their own top 3 pick if their own pick has been in the top 3 twice in the last 6-10 years.
Silly. More incentive to tank because the top 4 teams have almost equal opportunity for the top spot. Institute a tax. Similar to the luxury tax, where after so many years(let's say 2) of being a bottom 5 record, you start getting taxed. Also institute a repeater tax and an injury exemption of some sort. That promotes crap teams into being competitive imo
Tanking is the wrong issue. The integrity of the game, when super teams are still a thing, are already compromised plenty.
This would totally work if G-League teams weren't NBA affiliates. It doesn't make sense that if the Vipers move into the NBA even though they are affiliated with the Rockets.
