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.
An analogy as to why if you’re a realtor you want a realreps profile
It’s like the difference between someone who walked past your store window versus someone who came in, picked up a product, read the label, and checked the price. The second person doesn’t need to hand you their email for you to know they are serious.
It’s called fsbo and people have been doing it since forever.
Agents aren’t going anywhere. If anything there’s going to be an influx of newcomers so get ready.

Reddit real estate in a nutshell:
Please give me real estate advice I don’t believe my realtor at all.
This is what happens when consumers are treated poorly
If a realtor accepts your listing price knowing it won’t sell its because they’re using you to get more clients.
Good agents can’t waste time with a property that won’t sell.
@mtjkenny92@Investor_NICK_ The reason why there’s hate is because there is no good way to tell the difference between good and bad.
Bad agents violate ethics all the time and get rewarded for doing so
The principal issue in housing right is between prices and incomes.
The typical value of a house acc to Zillow is now $365k.
Meanwhile, the US median income is only $85k acc to Census Bureau.
That means the price/income ratio is 4.20x, well above the historical norms.
You can see the "decoupling" between prices and income started in early 2000s, corrected during last crash, but quickly separated again in 2010s and pandemic.
Until prices and incomes come more back into balance, the U.S. Housing Market will remain mired in its worst demand recession in history.
