Imagine if every lotto team had equal lottery odds...why on earth would you watch this Kings-Grizzlies game..even if the best players were playing?

That is interesting to think about. The possibility that reworking the odds would have negative effects on the game viewing and attendance even more than two bad teams playing makes you think there is no solution.

I'm completely spit balling so don't trash me here but what about a weighted rookie cap like the nfl has except the cap would be on the team not the draft slot and the drafted player got offer sheets from teams and had to take one of the top 3 offer sheets he got.

So say Phx, Mem and Atl finish 1,2,3. They are allotted 18, 16.5, and 15mil and so on going down the line according to season record.

Teams can sign enough players as picks they have still and can use the money in their cap however they want in their offers. Meaning they can offer one player 15mil and another 1mil as long as they have the rookie cap space and if they have 2 picks and the players accept then they have a deal.

The player has to take one of the top 3 offer sheets presented and there should be a time element to it to like it's a 3 day period to present offer sheets and another 2 days for rookies to make decisions.

If teams still have picks and player are still left after the 5 days then it goes to a straight record ordered selection meaning if 4 teams have a pick left they select in the reverse order of finish record and pay with the remaining money in their rookie cap with a league min and max salary guarannteed for the players like 1.5mil or something.

True. I as a Suns fan would not be on this board or following the game on Gamecast. Nor would our entire board.
