But that still penalizes the teams with less talent.

No its weighted by place in the standings, based on record.

You still guarantee yourself a top 4 pick

it's not about the number one pick overall.

tanking (and getting TBPA) doesn't = titles

It's far too subjective.

Well, BPI measures the top three statistical contributors.

Yeah, but teams weren't tanking in most of those cases
mrhood75

Lakers would always get the first pick and cap room for 1 max contract

rob
Apr 04th 2013

The only valid issue I would see is the #1 pick not playing in the

you're not really understanding/thinking this through
rob

bentagain

But if small market teams suck ass...so be it
FromTheGo
Apr 04th 2013

Relegate the worst team to the D League for a season

I think people are also overstating the prevalence of tanking too
mrhood75

Pretty much this
Marauder21

yup. who cares if someone tanks?
rob

I don't think so
ShawndmeSlanted
Apr 04th 2013

Again, most of the tanking teams suck anyway
mrhood75
Apr 04th 2013

yeah and its reflective of the nba being a star driven league
rob
Apr 04th 2013
46
but *shouldn't* they be using that dead time to evaluate talent?
KosherSam
