Does the NBA draft lottery system discourage tanking?

Nothing of this mid-season hedging anymore. No casual fans can even keep track anymore, with all the multi-twined protections and swaps between teams. 


Windhorst said it during his podcast. The Blazers record before the All-Star break the last two years is 53-64, after the ASB it´s 7-40 (2-21last year), including 15 losses by more than 30 points. Why cause their 1st round pick is lottery protected.

My petpeeve is after a trade they still have the wrong team making the pick and they have the rookie putting on the wrong hat.  That should have been fixed a long time ago.
