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.

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

I I'd expect this to pass easily if vote happens. Vote might reach 29-1, with only Philly against. Might be a few more "nos," but not many

Hard to overstate degree of leaguewide displeasure with Sixers right now. Perhaps not entirely fair -- they're following rules -- but big.

Under current rules, worst team has 25% chance at No. 1. Second-worst: 19.9%. Third-worst: 15.6%. Proposal would give 4 worst equal 12% odds

Sixers will justifiably argue changing rules mid-stream is unfair, especially w/ so many protected draft picks still to change hands

But league has made such mid-stream changes before, and momentum is clearly on their side.
