Nfl draft lottery

With some fans hoping we croak and lose out for a top 10 pick I got some idea to stop that tanking mode . An nfl draft lottery which makes sense , who ever does not make the playoffs get the first pick , this will stop tanking and it would give the nfl a big amount of views when they do a live lottery like show after the seasons over . It would be pretty entertaining

That’s a no from me. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to suffer through the draft lottery as a Hornets fan. This is the first time we’ve had a top 3 pick and of course it’s in a year of unknowns .We could have the worst record in the league not by choice and still not get the first pick. Not a fan of it personally.

The NBA lottery makes no sense............at all.   If a team wants to tank and suffer the consequences of that than so be it but randomly choosing where a team chooses in the draft based on record is retarded.  Always has been, always will be.

I was just going to say that. They were the legit worst team ever (bobcats) and didn’t get first pick.

Yep and it just compounds when the worst team picks 3rd.  Its fuging stupid.  If you are a conspiracy guy you know that the lottery was set up by Stern to control who went where.  Frozen envelope anyone?

    • Ppl want to trade Melo? Am I wrong for thinking that would be a bad idea? 
    • Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.
    • It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
