WHY does the NBA still have a draft "lottery"?
Why can't they be like NFL? If they think a team is tanking games to get a better pick, then they should fine them or take away there pick. The worst team should get the top pick, period.
Answers:
It in itself is an attempt to regulate fair play. The portland TB, were the worst team in the league a couple years ago, and got the worst pick they possibly could, the number 4 pick. It was fair, the players tanked games intentionally.
Its unfair to offer winning teams an additional handout by giving them the best players in the draft. with a system that would do that, we would never see teams like the Mavs and Suns return from their dismal years. I like the draft right now, it offers an OBJECTIVE approach to it. someone said something about letting the league decide if someones tanking or not. thats far to subjective to be realistic. it would remove the organization from the game... At least this way, everyone has a chance at good players, but the teams that need it most have the best chance.
How would the Cleveland Cadavers be without LeBron James ??
To prevent losing teams from tanking games (losing intentionally) to get the #1 pick. Some years, getting a #1 pick means getting a superstar and a future hall of famer (like Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Patrick Ewing, Shaquille O'Neal, Allen Iverson, etc.)New Jersey Nets or the Cleveland Cavaliers?
To torture Celtic fan!!Who is your favorite NCAA Basketball and NBA Team?
I disagree with the whole system. The best college player should not be thrown into the worst system. He should be rewarded for his outstanding college play by being on a better team. Its like if someone told you If you graduate at the top of your class get the all the best grades, then we guarantee you a job at McDonald's. Now that's crap, Reward the hard work by that individual put him and win win situation. Let the league resolve there crap teams.I think it keeps it interesting and exciting. It's a blast for the fans and adds a bit of luck to the process. It makes it so that tanking games at the end of the season may be futile and get you nothing. I love it.
