NBA Draft

[rickh150]

I'd like to see the following changes to the NBA Lottery/Draft....

1. Put a "pure" lottery system in place in the next CBA. If you don't make the playoffs, you have as good of shot as any to get the top pick. Playoff teams would get picks in order, like now, of how they finish in the playoffs.

 

2. If you get the top 3 pick, you cannot get it the following 2 years. If you get a top 3 pick, you could trade it and be a possible in the top 3 the following year. The team getting the top 3 pick couldn't be in it the following two years, however.

 

3. If you get a 4-6 pick, you could not get a 4-6 pick the following year. If you trade for it, you couldn't get a 4-6 the following year.

 

Tanking would end. The process 76er type of rebuild couldn't wouldn't occur.

The Lottery would be a HUGE event! A team missing the playoffs could be getting the #1 pick!

The Draft would be bigger than ever because trades for draft picks would have even bigger ramifications.
