Comment on Because I’m deathly afraid someone is going to post this first (NBA Draft Lottery) by pacejmiller

It would certainly make some exciting basketball watching teams fight and scratch their way to a better draft pick…but isn’t the whole point of the draft lottery to help the crappiest teams in the league? This system would certainly help the teams on the cusp of the playoffs but it be even more detrimental to the cellar dwellers who will only manage to get a mid-first round pick…

Comment on Because I’m deathly afraid someone is going to post this first (NBA Draft Lottery) by Frank the Tank

I absolutely love this idea! The typical NBA Draft is fairly top heavy, where the top 2 or 3 picks have disproportionately greater success over their careers than the rest of the first round. This is different than the NFL (where valuable players are found throughout the early rounds) and MLB (which is a complete crapshoot). Thus, the worst place to be for any NBA franchise is “basketball hell”, which is not quite good enough to make the playoffs yet nowhere near bad enough to have a decent chance at the #1 pick (notwithstanding my Bulls’ luck last year). Thus, teams that are trying hard and/or built well enough to contend for a playoff spot but don’t make it to the postseason are essentially punished more than anyone else. Under your proposal, it turns the lottery on its head, as it should be. From a league perspective, having someone like Blake Griffin go to a team that is on the cusp of the playoffs (as opposed to being 30 games out of the playoff race) is much more desirable.

The one significant downside that I see, though, is the prospect of “good but not great” teams tanking down the stretch since playing in the “NBA Draft Tournament” would be a more desirable situation than making the playoffs as a #7 or #8 seed. For instance, as exciting as the Bulls-Celtics first round series was this year, most knowledgeable basketball people would have known that beating either the Cavs and Magic out of the East would have been nearly impossible for the Bulls. So, the Bulls would have been better off sitting all of their starters during the last week of the regular season so that they wouldn’t make the playoffs and then blow by everyone to win the hypothetical NBA Draft Tourney so that they would have the rights to draft Blake Griffin (setting up a potential Rose-Griffin dynasty that would last for the next decade). When the NBA has only a handful of teams that have legitimate chances to win the championship in any given season (which happens more often than not), then the risk is that those “good but not great” teams have almost too much incentive to miss the playoffs.

Still, the NBA Draft Tourney is a great idea overall. If there was a way that incentives could be put into place that would be prevent teams from tanking games down the stretch, I’d be all for it.

Well said. Excellent. I also hate how they almost totally ignore hockey. What ever happened to NHL Tonight? Exactly. It died when they decided not to re-up their deal with the NHL.

It’s offensive how little coverage is dedicated to non-ESPN broadcast games/sports.

Cold pizza is awful. Skip Bayless should have his vocal chords suspended.
