CBA Russian NBA ESPN basketball people I have a way to fix the tank in the NBA which I sent by owners because I’ll be able to make more money which is the reason the order to do what they’re doing in the first place every team except the bottom eight teams make the playoffs no draft protection that goes away the bottom 18 teams play a single elimination tournament the winner of that tournament gets the first pick. The best record gets home for revenge in each round the bottom 14 teams they get to the top championship. The top two teams of that championship gets the first pick the loser get a second thing for the teams are finished third fourth they play game but one of that game gets the third game the third third pick the team that we just win the fourth pick remaining picks go down with the remaining records of whatever of the record they had going into the playoffs that gets more money for the for the teams and the players because they’re making more royalty of those games it is sometimes cause they’re trying to win as many games to go into that playoff down the stretch that they have home for bed in that playoff and then they get Sentor to win those games with insights affairs the fan of their game, their money is worth. It’s a win-win situation for everyone get rid of the draft through it. This way it fixes the issue once and fall then there’s no excuses.

Adam Silver wants a league where everybody is competing to be relevant instead of a league where a few are competing for a championship. Theres a reason football is America’s sport and its cuz every team is competing for a championship until they know they can’t

Bulls and white Sox are the same. Huge market that acts like it’s Green Bay . Got lucky to get Jordan and the owner thinks he great ever since

Here’s a much simpler proposal : If you purposely tank games you lose the chance to get a top draft pick. Problem solved. If you still want to lose 60 games knock yourself out, but it’s not going to get you what you want it to.

I dont understand their point… what do middle of the pack teams like the bulls have anything to do with tanking?

How about you give the top pick to the team with the worst record like the nfl smh

Because there’s no relegation

The bigger problem is the league giving the number 1 pick to whoever they want, are they going to fix that?

I like 2 different options. Encentivize winning. Try the top lottery is the teams that finish 6-10 in both divisions. They get the top 10 picks. The other options is go on roulette draft number where every year everyone is on year by year pick basis. So you will get the no 1 pick every 30 years. the no 2 pick every 30 and so on. but not back to back top picks every year.

Just scrap the lottery. I think every team should have the same odds for the number 1 pick

The NBA is unwatchable, I am so dissapointed in this sport it not even funny. No effort playing until Postseason, I have to question if defensive max effort is performed. It just so SAD, I only watch during the Olympics because I trust effort. Players only care about money and nothing else. The NBA died in the 2010s

March 27, 2026 at 9:17 pm
itz easy to solve this…..give the pick # 1 to rank 8 and pick # 2 to rank 7…then rank 3 below goes to lottery.

But we’re not gonna talk about the San Antonio Spurs the Oklahoma City thunder the Philadelphia 76ers try to process we’re not gonna talk about those teams that were openly wanting to take the Dallas Mavericks trading their best player made no sense whatsoever, but got the number one pick that next season let’s not talk about that. Let’s let’s talk about everything else. Let’s let’s talk about the mid small market teams as you call him which is a joke itself because they’re not small market That can’t get a number one pick or teams. I have never gotten a number one pick but now you because they have a chance I get the number one pick now you gotta make these rules all the sudden to stop antitank 🐂 💩

Start going after the owners have them pay a heafty fine for being in the bottom 4 and double it if they’re in bottom 4 again the following season. Maybe give all the players a bonus if their team get a .500 record & another one if they make the playoffs. Oh and take away draft protections.
