As the season progresses it appears less likely that Utah can hang on to their pick. Maybe it's time to consider trying to make sure the pick OKC gets from us is as bad as possible.

Maybe it's time to start trying to make sure OKC's pick is as bad as possible seeing as it looks like it may be very difficult to hang onto it.

This front office hasn't won a trade in a long time.

I just want this abortion of a season to be over, I really don't care who wins this game. The result isn't going to significantly effect anything.

Add to that list with the Jazz luck when it comes to lotteries and coin flips, I think the fans have a legitimate reason to worry.

Losing for fun really isn't that fun.

I'm tired of losing, I just wished this damned season was over.

That it really sucks to tank.

If you flip a coin and it winds up tails 5 times in a row what's the odds it will wind up heads on the next flip? 50% is the answer. The odds the lottery will be won by the worst team is 14% that doesn't change because it's about time for it to happen.

How does that make tanking worse? It takes away any incentive to tank.

Having an NBA wide lottery for the first 5 picks then a straight lottery for all remaining non playoff teams draft positions would eliminate any incentive to tank.

That's why I included the second fix which I think would be more viable and more effective in discouraging tanking.

The reason the lottery was instigated was because teams were tanking to get the worst record which guaranteed they would get the #1 pick. Originally all teams in the lottery had the same odds in the lottery. This resulted in many good teams getting the top pick and bad teams getting the worst...

I hope my rock doesn't offend you. I don't know if it's a justice league thing or not. I find it offensive that everyone in the NBA seems to think it's great to throw games. I come from an era that trying your best to win was what was expected. I know that sounds pretty old fashioned, but then...

Sounds like you're trying to hide something.
