@MoneyBeGr33n @BannedVesus @kirkgoldsberry Well that is why Adam Silver needs to resign. There is no "fixing" a problem that has only gotten worse with every "solution" he tries

@TylerTheTorch @BannedVesus @kirkgoldsberry The NBA has decided it's a problem so the cats out of the bag there

My simple solution to tanking. Phase 1: Award preliminary ping pong balls using a weighted inverse performance index adjusted for strength of schedule, injury-corrected win probability, and a 12-variable regression model updated nightly by a committee of actuaries sponsored by Emirates. Phase 2: Preliminary ping pong balls are distributed by an independent custodial agent following a 60-day comment period in which all 30 franchises may submit objections in writing then all 14 non-playoff teams are evaluated by a Warren Commission-type panel that assigns each a parameter in a simple ridge regression model. the coefficients are public. It's all powered by AWS.

@MoneyBeGr33n @BannedVesus @kirkgoldsberry Well no, because then bad teams have no avenue to get better. They should just go back to the old lottery odds before they decided tanking was a problem. Flattening just makes it worse and keeps the worst teams bad for longer. The entire purpose of the draft is to balance talent

@TylerTheTorch @BannedVesus @kirkgoldsberry That's why I think any real "solution" needs to not have a limit to how far you can drop, see Indiana, Washington, Brooklyn trying to be the worst so they are guaranteed at least 5th

@BannedVesus @MoneyBeGr33n @kirkgoldsberry and those teams are tanking so hard because 1. the strength of this draft in particular, which is an outlier 2. the flattened odds meant it's unlikely the worst teams get the best picks, so instead the worst teams need to tank even harder to protect their draft lottery floor

@MoneyBeGr33n @kirkgoldsberry tanking isn’t an issue now, the only people trying to fix it are nba podcasters. there are always going to be bad teams

@ChocoThunderr @503sBest @toiletvans @JoestarJokic but flattening the odds decreases fairness. Flattening the odds is the whole reason why teams are tanking so hard now-- if you're the worst team, you can only fall so far in the lottery. So now the worst teams don't get the high-end talent and are stuck at the bottom for longer

@503sBest @toiletvans @JoestarJokic I want a fairer league, it's called being objective

we solved tanking by adding more teams to the lottery

@erikslater_ @LockedOnNets What would you realistically like to see from the healthy rookies over the last couple weeks in order to feel more confident that they will be part of the Nets future long term?

#Nets fans, I'm recording another fan-take Friday episode of @LockedOnNets this week as Brooklyn’s season winds down and March Madness continue. Reply here, DM me, or email the address in my bio with any questions or takes you have and I'll respond on the show.

@erikslater_ @LockedOnNets What is the likelihood that the Nets acquire a second first-rounder in the upcoming draft? Considering the surplus of assets, will it be something Marks will aggressively pursue via future picks/Porter/Clax, or would it be more likely to come in a salary dump situation

My friends unironically say this to me whenever I'm too busy to watch movies for multiple days in a row
