OT Do you think getting rid of the lottery would benefit the NBA?

Poor teams still need goods players to help keep the league on somewhat of a level playing field. I do think there need to be sought changes.

If a team has a Top 3 pick, the next year the highest they can get is #4. Don't reward teams like Philly for continually taking.

Also, if a team makes the Final 8 in the Playoffs and had another teams pick, the highest it can be is #4. It's great that they made a smart move but a Title contender shouldn't be adding a To 3 pick as well. They'll still get a very good player.

I'd also like to see Compensatory picks for Top Tier FA's that leave with the spurned team getting nothing in return.

 

Giggity...

 

I think what they should do is cut the playoffs down to 12 teams. Ideally eliminate the conference seeding. Because the last 4 teams are usually not nearly good enough to complete in the playoffs anyway.
