I don’t know if people think those things, but I don’t. However, I do think being able to pick in the top 5 three times in five years is going away - because it is - and that’s how the Spurs got Wemby, Castle, and Harper. Harper wouldn’t be a Spur under the new lottery rules
Do people think the draft is going away? Do they think the lottery is going away? It still exist. The only thing that changed is that losing doesn't improve your odds.
Teams that try hard to win and still suck can get the #1 pick.
