@bvb030 @ScottDesertRat @MZavagno11 No it doesn’t. They could give the Bucks the first pick to give Giannis some help and just fall back on the fact that everyone has the same odds, rather than them having 3.8% in the current system

It shouldn’t - but it genuinely surprises me how the NBA has a fundamental misunderstanding of this issue.
Stop trying to fight a negative (No tanking) and start trying to create a positive (how do we make all teams competitive - ie NFL)
You arrive at a wildly different solution

Shams: NBA presented 3 anti-tanking concepts to Board of Governors. 1. 18 teams in draft lottery with flattened odds and lottery for picks 1-18 (bottom 10 teams all have 8% chance at top pick) 2. 22 teams in draft lottery with 2-year cumulative record used and minimum win total needed 3. 18 teams in draft lottery with bottom 5 all having equal odds for the top pick, lottery for picks 1-5, and bottom 5 teams having a floor of pick 10 Concepts will be tweaked and voted upon in May.

@ChrisKlemmer Only reason nba would want this is to make it easier to fix. 100% chance Milwaukee would have 1st pick this year
English
Why do they need to over complicate this?
Just have a true lottery where every non-playoff team has the same odds.
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
The NBA presented three comprehensive anti-tanking concepts to its Board of Governors on Wednesday, with modifications expected to each before a formal vote in May, per ESPN sources. 1. 18 teams in draft lottery (seeds 7-15 in each conference) – flattened odds, with bottom 10 teams having an 8% chance, the remaining 20% odds distributed in decreasing order for 11 through 18, and and a lottery drawing for all 18 picks. 2) 22 teams in lottery using 2-year record (seeds 7-15, plus the four playoff first round exits in both conferences). Lottery teams would reach a minimum win total floor in each season, such as 25 wins. If a team falls short of the floor, it gets slotted to meet the floor. Top 4 drawn as part of lottery, as is currently. 3) 18 teams in a "5 by 5" lottery – bottom 5 teams have equal odds for the top pick, with lottery formed for picks 1-5. Bottom 5 teams have a floor at 10; those that fall out of top 5 get sorted in a separate drawing.

@DaBuffSportsZn @GMillz07 @TkachukFanAcc Gotta love football powerhouses Yale (18 championships) and Princeton (15).
By your own rules, Yale is more of a powerhouse than Alabama. Or do you want to be a sane person and take recency into account?
English
@GMillz07 @TkachukFanAcc Perfect answer!
- UNLV has 4 final fours and a national championship
- Loyola Chicago has 2 final fours and a national championship
- Gonzaga has 2 final fours and no national championship
By your own rules, Gonzaga isn’t a powerhouse

@Baltimore_MJD @BigLawn23 @davidnayan @ryanmcfadden_ @TheRushWithMaxx They’re an NFL team. I’d imagine they could’ve flown him to BWI.

@JayJammerff @BigLawn23 @davidnayan @ryanmcfadden_ @TheRushWithMaxx We don’t know why they didn’t fly him in to BWI.

#Raiders DE Maxx Crosby addressed the fallout of his trade to Baltimore in the latest episode of @TheRushWithMaxx:
- Ravens flew him to DC on Monday, then had to drive to Bmore.
- He didn't meet with HC Jesse Minter and GM Eric DeCosta until the end of the day after he had his physical and MRI. "I didn't see [EDC] for five hours."
- He said the energy was off when he finally met Minter and EDC, who informed him that one of the doctors had concerns w/ his knee and was going to get more opinions.
- When Crosby went back to the hotel, his agents told him that they think Baltimore will back out of the deal.
- A member from the Ravens called Crosby and said they were going to get the deal done. Five minutes later, Crosby receives a call from his agent, saying Baltimore has backed out of the deal.
- "No one will ever admit what the real truth is. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. I am where I'm supposed to be," Crosby said.

@Baltimore_MJD @BigLawn23 @davidnayan @ryanmcfadden_ @TheRushWithMaxx Probably was hyperbole, but it’s still an awful drive and could take 2 hours. Just is super cheap to not fly him to bwi.
English
@JayJammerff @BigLawn23 @davidnayan @ryanmcfadden_ @TheRushWithMaxx It’s super unlikely. I’ve driven it 500+ times in rush hour and it’s never taken that long.
English
@birdland_jay @Baltimore_MJD @BigLawn23 @davidnayan @ryanmcfadden_ @TheRushWithMaxx Definitely doesn’t take that long normally, but easily could
English
@JayJammerff @Baltimore_MJD @BigLawn23 @davidnayan @ryanmcfadden_ @TheRushWithMaxx it just still doesn’t take 2 hours man that’s unrealistic, unless there’s a highway shut down or like multi car crash.
English
@Baltimore_MJD @BigLawn23 @davidnayan @ryanmcfadden_ @TheRushWithMaxx Oh ok, that was unclear. Lived as in prior to the bridge? Just don’t see how you could think 2 hours from DC is impossible.
English
English
@Baltimore_MJD @BigLawn23 @davidnayan @ryanmcfadden_ @TheRushWithMaxx That’s where your disconnect is. Inside the beltway is nowhere near the same as inside the city, especially since the bridge collapsed. Pretty sure he stayed in harbor east in ig story
English
@BigLawn23 @davidnayan @ryanmcfadden_ @TheRushWithMaxx Nah. I used to commute from inside Baltimore beltway to inside the DC beltway. Even on the worst day it didn’t take 2 hours.

@adamlevitan Loveland is a sneaky winner. Increased pt like Burden and top 10 pick in 2nd year after playing well last year
Can make easy argument he should be drafted in McBride/Bowers tier
English
Some sneakier winners from free agency so far:
* Isaac TeSlaa - Kalif Raymond ran 217 routes last season, he's gone. DET one of few teams saying they won't lean into the 2- and 3-TE trend.
* Josh Downs - Can he expand out of slot-only with Michael Pittman gone? Not sure at 5'9/171, but would love to see IND try.
* Jayden Reed - Can route rate rise with Romeo Doubs gone? Or does GB keep the faith on Matthew Golden in 2-WR sets?
* Jalen McMillan - Mike Evans is gone. Chris Godwin bottomed out at 1.36 YPRR last season.
* Mark Andrews - BAL likely to add TEs in draft after losing Isaiah Likely & Charlie Kolar. But we'll see how much draft capital.
