I believe I'm officially done with the NBA. I've been hanging on by a thread but yeah I think that's it for me

i feel similar, it just feels like there is no way out of the basement for the hornets. we would have to get EXTREMELY lucky on a few picks which is hard to do when the NBA routinely screws you out of top talent

my idea to fix the NBA lottery is to have three team brackets

so the three worst teams are bracketed in the top three picks. Worst team with 50% odds, second worse 30% odds and third worse 20%. 

Then picks 4-6, 7-9, and 9-12 are the same. 

This would prevent these gigantic leaps teams are taking up the lottery to land generational stars when they had no business going there. The NFL doesn't fear this, why does the NBA- oh wait it's because they need the popular teams to stay good so the league stays relevant

I was thinking the same thing. Also, change from the stupid numbers to balls with team name or logo on it.  Each team have a designated player to drop their teams balls into the hopper.  Furst team drops 5, next team drops 3 and 3rd team drops 2. Then have some lucky fan pull the balls.  Televise the whole thing and make millions.
