NBA Proposes New Lottery System to Crack Down on Tanking:
โข Lottery expands from 14 โ 16 teams
Relegation zone (bottom 3 teams) gets fewer odds for No. 1 pick
โข Teams outside bottom 3 get better lottery odds (3 balls vs 2)
โข Play-in teams also receive lottery balls (varies by seed)
โข No team can win No. 1 pick in back-to-back years
โข No team can get 3 straight top-5 picks
Picks 12โ15 can no longer be protected
โข NBA can punish tanking by reducing odds or moving picks
โข System would run through 2029 (trial period)

Boston, we will miss you.
Gracias for making us part of you. #RedSoxNation, you are the โค๏ธ of that team, keep believing, you really care and thatโs what pushes everyone in the @RedSox to give it all day in and day out.
With respect and love

They fired Dombrowski before Cora, They fired Chaim before Cora.
Let's not act like this is some crazy unfair firing...I know you guys wanted Breslow gone but there was no way Cora should have gotten a free pass through 3 generations of front offices
@Buster_ESPN So embarrassed to be a Red Soxโs fan. This leaderless org will continue to operate like a small market team bc the actual decision makers were not held accountable
Alex Cora fired less than halfway into a three-year, $21.75 million deal he negotiated in the summer of 2024. Jason Varitek dumped in April, in his 30th year affiliated with the Red Sox. Other coaches let go. This is unequivocally Craig Breslow's organization.
