It's time for a flat (non-playoff team) draft lottery

[LogGrad98]

The worst team automatically gets the 4 pick with no chance of getting the top pick. Or lock worst record to the 3 pick and second worst to the 4th pick. That should put an end to the shameless tanking.

It would be like relegation lite. Make the last two teams play for the 3rd and 4th pick.

They could make the bottom 4 teams play for the top 4 picks. Like the play-in. Best of the worst 4 gets the top pick. Could be interesting. Could even expand that to 6 or 8 teams. Then the challenge is how to tank but be good enough to beat the other 7 bottom teams.
