What About a Draft Tournament... 

Post#1 » by atlantabbq99 » Thu Oct 27, 2022 4:40 pm

How about changing how we get the draft order...

Draft order is based on record, but the 4 worst teams have to play a playoff style tournament. Team 3 and Team 4 get home court advantage. best of 5 games for each series.

This would add more revenue to the NBA and it would make the fan super engaged especially when the prize is getting a prospect like VW.

We should do this, except the team that loses the game gets the better pick. See who can tank the hardest.

This wouldn't work. You can simply have no active players and forfeit the game.

Yea, but then what happens if both teams forfeit?

Team that win obviously gets the #1 pick, and that is why i put 4th worst team gets home court advantage throughout the tournament, so that total tanking at the end of the season is punished.
