What is worse for the league?

[Hood President]

if you dont make the playoffs then too damn bad. it doesnt say you half to be .500 or above to make playoffs in the rule book. whether its fair or not, guess what LIFE IS UNFAIR. So get over it.

A bad team not getting a high draft pick, IMO.
The front office's job is to assemble a team that can compete in THEIR

I disagree. I've never liked the way the draft positioning system works, for the NBA or NFL. Despite the logic behind it, it essentially rewards teams for tanking and punishes good teams.

With players salaries so high, and how hard it is for mediocre teams above the cap to rebuild, we're seeing way too many teams blowing everything up and starting over from scratch.

I'm not saying that teams that win out should necessarily be lotto eligible, but I think that if a team has good management and coaching, they should be able to keep their contending window open. Rather than be forced to rebuild every 6-8 years because they get the latest picks in the draft every single year no matter what.

Not many teams in the east are good enough like the West teams so there will be more teams going in at 35+.

A 50 win team not making the playoffs

I like your thinking...
