    You'll still have teams phoning it in for 12% in the worst four. I think the best way to do it would be if you miss the playoffs you get an equal shot with all the other losers.

      How about the worst four teams have their team presidents in a cage match. Winner gets the #1 pick.

          We should just ask the top prospects entering the draft which of the bottom 5 teams they'd rather play for.

          Ask them their top 3 choices. Then whichever team gets chosen the least by the players gets the top pick.

            That is outside the box.

            I like it.

            Might need ti invoke lie detector though.

              I don't really care, as I hope it should not affect the Raptors for quite a few years.

                  oh shit.

                  If New York (likely) and Denver (a little less likely) are in the lottery two years from now, we could get #1 pick, while hopefully having a playoff run!

                  Damn....

                    No, we couldn't. We get the worse of the two, which means it's literally impossible to get the #1 pick. #2 is the crazy theoretical best-case.

                      #2 would still be fucking epic.

                      Any lottery pick while still having a playoff run is fucking epic.

                          Lottery changes not happening.. Owners did not get the required 23 votes:
                          http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/11...lottery-reform

                          An effort to reform the NBA's draft lottery process failed to get enough votes to pass at the league's Board of Governors meeting on Wednesday, sources told ESPN.

                          While the final vote was 17-13 in favor of the reform, according to Grantland's Zach Lowe, that falls short of the required 23 votes needed to push the reform through.

                          Sources had said the reform had been expected to pass ahead of Wednesday's vote.

                          So I guess that means no end to the tanking debate.

                            apparently raptors voted yes to the reform, but still overall had mixed feelings about it.
