@DoctorProfit Meanwhile, KAT is coming off back to back conference finals (western then eastern), and Embiid can't stay healthy. Good to know they squashed it, though.
@PGATout But I’m not ignoring bad teams. If a team is still bottom 5 over multiple years, their lottery odds increase over time. So:
Short-term losing → no reward
Long-term dysfunction → increasing help
@PGATout My idea is to recreate similar pressure of euroleague relegation (even though we don't have that system). The worst teams SHOULD be penalized in the short term, forcing them to get creative with trades, invest in player development, and actually try to improve — not just tank...
@PGATout get the most ping pong balls. That's how bad teams will try their hardest. It also will increase parity faster, as teams that are on the cusp of the playoffs now get their missing piece...
@DylanBackerESM I think his consecutive game streak is negatively affecting his performance. I feel like he isn't attacking the rim because he's afraid of getting hurt. He needs a break.
