The absolute, number one solution they need is all lottery spots to be drawn. As long as only a certain number of spots are drawn none of these will be effective.
The NBA presented three comprehensive anti-tanking concepts to its Board of Governors on Wednesday, with modifications expected to each before a formal vote in May, per ESPN sources.
1. 18 teams in draft lottery (seeds 7-15 in each conference) – flattened odds, with bottom 10 teams having an 8% chance, the remaining 20% odds distributed in decreasing order for 11 through 18, and and a lottery drawing for all 18 picks.
2) 22 teams in lottery using 2-year record (seeds 7-15, plus the four playoff first round exits in both conferences). Lottery teams would reach a minimum win total floor in each season, such as 25 wins. If a team falls short of the floor, it gets slotted to meet the floor. Top 4 drawn as part of lottery, as is currently.
3) 18 teams in a "5 by 5" lottery – bottom 5 teams have equal odds for the top pick, with lottery formed for picks 1-5. Bottom 5 teams have a floor at 10; those that fall out of top 5 get sorted in a separate drawing.
@Domo8186 The Warriors did the same thing for Wilt during his 100 point game; they fouled the Knicks intentionally on the inbound to get more possessions.
Wish there was somewhere I could have predicted Horford would not be in the starting 5 for opening night.
If both teams keep their starters, shortest Rockets starter about the same height as tallest Warriors starter.

I had an awesome time in Toronto @ThePME Live Show. I wish it was a week longer. In the chance Pat runs it back, I 100% recommend going. I had such a good time I forgot to take any pictures, so if anybody has photo or video evidence of my appearance would be highly appreciated.
