Top 5 Prospects

The system is a joke when the worst team by far ends up picking 5th. Should be no lower than 3.

Another Spurs dynasty coming up?

Maybe you should do better than being the worst team. No league should ever encourage tanking.

I agree about tanking. I said so earlier.

If you've watched they were just bad. Cade out, the shooter out late, Casey. Regardless 5th? Lol.

 

[biggunsbob]

No reason to watch. And I didn?t waste my time the this rigged lottery system. NBA and NHL are just a joke.

Did they really tank ? The Piston were just a bad team. Just like they will be next season.

The way the Pistons quit again the last half of the season, they deserved to get hosed.

Ivey played his best ball the last 30 games. It?s not as if the Pistons had Michael Jordan on the bench.

I think if you're going to give the 3 worse teams the same % of balls then those 3 should pick 1-3. San Antonio, that's nuts.

I think that there should be a penalty for finishing with the worst record, not a reward.

San Antonio was one of the 3 worst teams (tied for 2nd worst)

They said it on 97.1. San Antonio has moved of the most I think when they are in the lottery .Or have the best luck. I hardly watch anymore anyways. Just another reason to turn the product off. I just don?t understand why they want teams to be bad year after year. Seems like parity would keep more fans interested. I?m not sure.

the NBA doesn't want any bad teams. Teams are doing it on their own. The Pistons have made bad decisions over and over again. It's their own fault...not the NBA's

They were? Somehow I thought they were better. Thank you. But dropping to 5 shouldn't happen.

So you think the team closest to making the playoffs should pick 1st?

Oh I agree but the lottery system is just a flawed system. There has to be a better way to Pick players and hold teams accountable for tanking. The pistons didn?t tank. They were injured and a terrible team. Hell I Bet they will win 25 or less next season they are so bad.

This. I don?t buy the Pistons purposefully tanking, they just flat-out sucked.

Probably the worst roster talent in the NBA and it?s not going to get much better after this draft. They?ll throw a bunch of money at some mediocre player (since nobody will want to come here), hire Ollie, and we?ll enjoy another five 20-30 win seasons along with shitty lottery picks. Cade will probably want out at some point during that span too.

Top three teams each moved up 2 spots . Houston fell 2 spots and Detroit fell 4 spots the most it could.

I thought of that, but no. Look at Dallas this year. They "tanked" at the end and missed the playoffs.

Maybe give the terrible teams more cap space or something.

Or maybe do it in a 3 year window. If you are really bad for several years in a row you get some sort of monetary penalty.

 

[Mitchrapp]

True tanking was Dallas who sat their best when they still had chances to make playoffs.
