NBA revamps draft lottery to stop tanking

The NBA Board of Governors voted Thursday to revamp the draft lottery, aiming to disincentivize teams from deliberately losing games.

The new system expands the lottery from 14 to 16 teams. Teams with the three worst records will receive two balls, while teams ranked fourth through 10th get three. Additionally, teams cannot secure the first overall pick in back-to-back years or stay in the top five for three consecutive seasons.

The measure passed with a 29-1 vote, with only the Memphis Grizzlies dissenting. This change is set to take effect next year and run through 2029. hiddenlangkawi.club
