I think the lottery rules, as imperfect as they are, will massively reduce tanking and I’m excited to see more teams actually trying to win games down the stretch.

Having “relegation” battles at the end of the year to not be bottom 3 should be interesting stakes.

A big side effect though is draft pics values just got flattened. Before you’d rather have 1 pick from a really bad team, now you just want a volume of picks. Really changes the landscape for trades.
