lol at the deletions.

If they must have it, a few things should change.

At least give the worst 3 or 4 records the same amount of ping pong balls, to reduce the temptation to tank. The race to the bottom is horrible.

More importantly, stop making playoff non-participation the lottery criteria. Do it strictly on record.
 
Just read the Kings have never had the number 1 pick. Almost seems impossible with how bad they have been for so long

With all the young talent in the NBA now, you can rebuild quickly. I can't recall a time when the NBA had more stars under age 25.
You wonder if there is going to be a bigger push on coaching, having talent is one thing, but getting this kids to buy in, play defense, share the ball is the key.
