NBA tanking
David Aldridge reports on X:
AAdam Silver, on tanking: "we are going to fix it. Full stop." Says there will be a special Board of Governors meeting in May to vote on proposed changes, so that they are in place before the NBA draft in June.
Don't see how they can apply it retroactively to this year's performances. Too much value tied up in traded picks and pick swaps to do anything drastic.
Now if they wanted to give equal odds to the top 5 or 6 instead of just the top 3, then maybe that would work. But they'd have to do it before the lottery was set. Doing something just before the draft doesn't address the issues.
