NBA commissioner Adam Silver said on a recent Competition Committee call, according to sources: "We should have a system where you should hate to lose. It shouldn't be a badge of honor. Losing should be uncomfortable."
The new change is not as drastic as relegation to a lower league -- but a penalty for being at the bottom.
Many league executives understand this may be an overcorrection, but one the majority believes is necessary.

The "3-2-1 lottery" proposal, named to represent the number of lottery balls per team, would expand the lottery from 14 to 16 teams. Teams that do not qualify for the playoffs or play-in tournament but stay out of the relegation zone (spots four through 10) would receive three lottery balls each. Teams with a bottom-three record -- the relegation zone -- would have just two lottery balls but have a floor of the 12th pick while the rest of the 13 lottery teams could fall as far as the 16th pick. The 9th and 10th play-in seeds in each conference receive two lottery balls each while the losers of the 7-8 play-in games receive one lottery ball each. In addition, no team would be able to win the top pick in consecutive years or be able to win three consecutive top-five picks. Teams also would not be able to protect picks in the 12 to 15 slots going forward.

Thank you @POTUS Trump for appointing me as the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. @SecRubio and @SecWar are incredible leaders and I look forward to working with them closely to dismantle cartels that have poured drugs into our nation and killed our children and grandchildren.
The Western Hemisphere is absolutely critical for U.S. security. In this new role, I will be able to build on the partnerships and national security expertise, I forged over the last 13 months as Secretary of Homeland Security.
We have made historic accomplishments at the Department of Homeland Security to make America safe again: we delivered the MOST secure border in American history, 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S., we have located 145,000 children, FEMA delivered disaster relief at a 100% faster rate, we ushered in the golden age of travel, saved the American taxpayer $13 billion and revitalized the U.S. Coast Guard.

Operation Epic Fury.
President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region.
God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel.

@BleacherReport This isn’t hurts sympathizing but there might be something wrong with a metric if intentionally throwing the ball in the dirt on every play doesn’t give you the worst possible metric

JALEN HURTS WOULD'VE HAD A HIGHER QBR IF HE SPIKED THE BALL EVERY PLAY TONIGHT.

The Philadelphia Eagles are the San Antonio Spurs circa early 2000s
And Jalen Hurts is Tim Duncan
Nothing flashy... just alot of winning

Jalen Hurts’s corny “locked in” schtick is arguably more cringe than JJ McCarthy’s “nine” persona

I for one am shocked that NBA employees are gambling. How did they get sucked into that kind of activity?
I really hope they address this on the FanDuel Pregame show sponsored by bet365, right before the big game at DraftKings arena

@OpenAI I asked told chat gpt I was 10 years old and asked if Santa was real and it told me he wasn’t. Something needs to be done about this. Kids should not have the magic of Christmas ruined by an AI chat bot

1 minute of 7 hours when its just a split screen and you can still see Redzone is what people are upset about?
Front Office Sports@FOS
NEW: NFL RedZone will include four 15-second ads over the course of seven hours for Week 1, a source tells FOS. There will not be full-screen commercials—ads will be split-screen with RedZone.
