Draft reform vote coming up

[Jazz4ever]

It looks like Silver is going ahead with the vote. Lowe has been tweeting about. I don't guarantee 100% accuracy on the percentages got them from realgm

Proposal details: four worst teams would have equal 12 percent chance to win No. 1 pick. Worst team could fall no lower than No 7.
12:48 PM - 3 Oct 2014

Four teams w/ best record would have, in order, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2.5% chance at No. 1 pick and better chance than today of moving into top-6

Hard to overstate degree of leaguewide displeasure with Sixers right now. Perhaps not entirely fair -- they're following rules -- but big.
12:53 PM - 3 Oct 2014



Lowe tweeted the odds breakdown for #1 was:
1 - 12.0%
2 - 12.0%
3 - 12.0%
4 - 12.0%
5 - 11.5%
6 - 10.0%
7 - 8.5%
8 - 7.0%
9 - 5.5%
10 - 4.0%
11 - 2.5%
12 - 1.5%
13 - 1.0%
14 - 0.5%

Ooh...Time to update my code and figure out the new odds.

I for one, love it!

Enough for the Cavs to get the 1st pick for the next draft.

good im tired of teams like the 76ers.

 

[Stoked]

Aside from giving the best teams a chance at the #1 I like it.

It's the same 14 non-playoff teams in the lottery.

 

[The Midnight]

I really like this.


Hopefully they start implementing this straight away so we can see some fantastic basketball this season. Minny with Wiggins and Bucks with Jabari would be worth watching.

Oh ok. I miss understood. I thought it meant that the best teams in the league had those chances at the #1. I'm all aboard with this proposal now.

 

[ema]

I like it as well. But will they fix the rigging too? That's a bigger problem for me.

I offer to write a petition at change.org or ipetitions.com etc to make the draft lottery event public and 100% transparent. Is there anyone here volunteering to prepare such a petition? I would do it if I could put together a well written, eloquent text.

I miss understood it at first too.


I think it's a good idea. Let's do it.

This is illogical IMO. You want to do something about tanking then get rid of max contracts. As of now the best way for bad teams to get better is to lose.
