Basketball: NBA Seeks To Tackle 'tanking' Problem With Draft Lottery Changes
The National Basketball Association: The National Basketball Association (NBA) is weighing significant changes to its draft lottery system amid growing concern that some teams are intentionally losing games to improve their chances of securing top picks, a practice known as "tanking" that the league believes undermines competitive integrity and erodes fan trust.
According to reports from local news outlets on Friday, the NBA's Board of Governors was presented this week with three draft lottery reform proposals. All three concepts would expand the number of teams eligible for the lottery and flatten the odds, thereby reducing the advantage of finishing at the bottom of the standings.
None of the proposals has been finalised, and team owners are expected to debate and potentially combine elements before a vote anticipated in May, the reports said, noting the league's commitment to addressing the "tanking" problem, reports Xinhua.
