That should be it, then every team will use all resource available to make the league competitive and watchable.
yes, keep it simple:
1 ping-pong ball for each year of consecutive playoff misses.
draw every lotto position.
that encourages borderline playoff teams to intentionally miss the playoffs. which is even worse
30 balls for worst team, 1 for champs, draw all 30 positions. best system, tv ratings gold
i really don't think it would. if teams are borderline playoffs team, they will want to get to the playoffs.
if that was really a concern, you could just have 1 ball for each team that doesn't make it out of the first round, plus one for each year of consecutive playoff misses, so even teams that barely make it still have some chance of getting a high pick.
but i like better the simpler setup i proposed before.
as far as drawing all 30 positions, you would inevitably end up with one of the top teams winning the lottery and/or getting e high picks, which is the exact opposite of what the lottery is supposed to achieve.
