@landing_kings @SportsCenter @ShamsCharania @KevinNegandhi Well yes, of course. Bad teams will remain at the bottom of the table. Time will tell in any case. Next year we will notice if there are any teams looking to avoid the playoffs, just as we were able to identify teams that were blatantly tanking this year.

@RepThomasMassie @We_R_The_News_ It's only a mild but persistently irritating disorder which can be easily cured with a single dose of 2028 US Presidential Elections.

@raptorsrepublic Yes!!!

@lc2nicey @FireMooch @BleacherReport Yeah. They achieved their primary goal. They just could have refined it a bit to incentivise teams to compete in playoffs and still have a chance at getting a lottery pick. Those teams barely good enough to qualify for playoffs will probably look to lose to secure a good pick.

@Buskil93 @SwipaCam Cason Wallace was a starter and had a great game

[Med Ved @AussieSerbian]

@SwipaCam SGA had a good game which is nice to finally see in this series but still wasn't the best player on OKC tonight. It was Cason Wallace. Best player in the game was Julian Champagnie.

@lc2nicey @FireMooch @BleacherReport They could have fixed it entirely by flattening the odds to include all 30 teams with the playoff teams having the smallest odds, followed by play-in teams, followed by bottom 3 teams, followed by non play-in teams. That way teams wont look to avoid playoffs.

[Med Ved @AussieSerbian]

@lc2nicey @FireMooch @BleacherReport I agree with not letting bottom teams have the best odds. That did fix the tanking problem. However I think it also created a new problem where now the better teams will look to tank to avoid the playoffs.

@SportsCenter @ShamsCharania @KevinNegandhi Non play-in teams now have the best odds 39% at landing a top 5 pick and 73% odds at landing top 10 pick. These new rules will incentivise teams to be mid and avoid making the playoffs altogether. I think Adam Silver somehow has managed to actually make it worse. 😅

@ToxicHoops @espn Biggest issue is that Knicks have players like KAT, Josh Hart, OG Anunoby stepping up in these playoffs while Cavs have no one stepping up.

[Med Ved @AussieSerbian]

@JAshton2k1 @esidery Yeah but we have to eat up 2 years of Ja's contract and he's a risk integrating him and not disrupting your team chemistry, not to mention you're betting on him turning it around. Actually Grizzlies own 3 of the top 32 picks in this years draft. They'd probably want our 2027 1st.

[Med Ved @AussieSerbian]

@JAshton2k1 @esidery I like this trade but I would give this years #19 pick and 2 future seconds
