@HPbasketball Leave the odds the way they are.
Limit pick protection to top 10 or none. Super max deal extra % doesn’t count against the cap if the player stays with the team.
Draw 10 sets of balls.
Stops the tanking to keep protected picks.

After a 19-week “summer break” and sitting 51 days of 2025 to “work” in the ON Legislature (while bypassing committees and shortening debate), showing up and having participation matters? You are a joke
Showing up matters.
Participating matters.
When students are engaged, they succeed.
Our proposed changes would make attendance and participation worth 10–15% of a final mark.
So Ford’s private school-operating cronies can hire under-qualified staff with no union and pay them peanuts to reap massive profits from a “school choice voucher” program
There are almost 40,000 licensed teachers in Ontario. @PaulCalandra@fordnation is firing 1000s of teachers. Now they want to make teacher education 1 year program to hired "more teachers". How does this make any sense?
I've joked about this before, but in all seriousness...
The best way to:
✅ Eliminate incentives to tank
*AND*
✅ Reduce the likelihood of horrible unintended consequences (that are potentially worse than tanking)
....is for GMs to simply vote on which team deserves the #1 pick
@JustEsBaraheni Instead of drawing 4 sets of lottery balls, guaranteeing the worst record team a top 5 pick: draw 10-14 sets and create more randomness and less guarantees
@redrock_bball I maintain the simplest way to add variance and stop the pick protection-based tanking is to leave the odds alone but draw 10-14 sets of balls. Finishing with the worst record won’t guarantee you a top-5 pick anymore
@Anthonysmdoyle Drawing 10-14 sets of balls solves a lot of the pick protection tanking at the end of the season. Can finish with the worst record and still have a slight chance of getting a 10-14th pick
@chrisglover They want to destroy public school systems, funnel $ to private (for-profit) schools their friends run, then have an excuse to close public schools and sell the land to their developer friends in the name of “affordability”.
It’s one never-ending grift.
