Show Notes
As the 2025-2026 NBA season nears its end, eight teams vie for the worst records, sparking tanking debates. The league proposes three lottery reforms: expanding to 18 teams with equal chances, increasing to 22 with two-year win averages, or keeping 18 with equal odds for the bottom five. Simulations show these changes could alter draft outcomes, but tanking incentives persist due to high picks for most poor teams. The NBA aims to end tanking with larger lotteries and smarter math, but details need refining before a May vote.
