NBA Lottery killing the NBA?


Shocker

Recommended Posts

I would love opinions on the lottery.  I think it is complete garbage.  The league is watered down but the lesser teams need the ability to compete.  Wouldnt this make regular season games better?  So its there to keep teams from tanking?  Really (76ers).  Worst rule in sports.  Thoughts?  I will call Silver with results.  haha

My next change as commish is a larger playoff pool with best of 3 series for each match up.  Not the NCAA tourney (for now) haha but still move the stakes much higher for the elites of the league.  Sounds awesome to me.. and yes to hell with tradition.  And keep kids in college 2 yrs as well.

I think it is. A perfect example is when we got screwed out of getting Anthony Davis. We were the worst team in the league we should have picked one. It should be like every other draft in sports, if you have a bad record you pick in the top in order of how bad you are. I know the worst team has the best chance at getting one overall but it doesn't happen sometimes. Same for teams in the top 5. Sometimes the number four team doesn't get four and so on. How can bad teams get better this way if they get screwed out of a pick?

I personally think the lottery is hurting the NBA. I also think the season should be shorter with longer breaks between games to cover the same amount if time, I think 50 would be perfect and would keep star players from sitting out. Also, should make players sit out more than one game if hurt, so star players cant sit out just because playing a lesser team.

I have felt for a long time that there are way too many NBA reg season games.  Broken model, old model and boring.  Less games, more critical loses in the playoffs (yes even  single elimantion) would make this league the best sport in the world.  Why not?

Last but not least arangement of the divisions...geographical model.  Ala the NFL.  Teams will keep their guys and rivalries abound.  A new champ every year...or at least possible.  My dream.

And a cap obviously

    • https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46683459/2025-nfl-offseason-tiers-32-teams-best-worst-signings-trades-draft-barnwell Slightly above expectations Highlights: Trading WR Adam Thielen, signing RB Rico Dowdle (one year, $2.8 million), drafting fifth-round TE Mitchell Evans   Disappointments: Re-signing CB Mike Jackson (two years, $10.5 million)   The Panthers chose the right time to move on from Thielen, who had been productive in Carolina before being dealt to Minnesota just before the season. He has been lost in the shuffle there. While the Panthers won't see the fourth-round pick that forms the bulk of the return for Thielen until 2027, getting out from what was owed to a player who has 47 receiving yards in Minnesota is an easy victory. Dowdle has been a revelation since moving into the starting lineup after Chuba Hubbard's injury, becoming one of a handful of players in NFL history to produce consecutive 200-yard scrimmage games. The former Cowboys back was averaging 3 yards per carry before the opportunity, so I'm not sure I would count on him playing like Jim Brown the rest of the way in a rotational role alongside Hubbard. But it's hard to argue that Carolina hasn't already gotten its $2.8 million worth out of the 27-year-old back. Most of Carolina's biggest moves are either tracking to be right around expectation (drafting wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan) or have been impacted by unexpected injuries (signing defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton). Jackson was a pleasant surprise as a starter in 2024, and he hasn't been terrible this season, but most of the big plays against Carolina have come on throws against the former Seahawks cornerback. Overall, though, this has been a very reasonable offseason for the Panthers
    • How would you have taken the guy who was picked ahead of us? That makes no sense.
    • I am not denying that things were said. That wasn’t my point. But carry on this will go nowhere.    Oh snap, the post calling him a liar was like three posts before you jumped in.  what do you get, a post a page?
