Should we include all non-playoff teams in the lottery (just like the NBA)?

NBA has 16 playoff teams and we only have 12. Having 18 teams in the lottery just seems silly to me. I think the current format is great.

I like it.

Anything that discourages tanking is a win for me.

all non playoff teams, use this site, and use the weighted ping pong balls based on where they place in standings

That's what we use now. George is proposing we add all non playoff teams in the pool instead of the bottom 10.

I like it from a “fun” perspective but can’t see it being fair to teams really struggling to rebuild as if further creates gaps.

Would really prevent tanking even further though is my guess but I don’t think we have a problem with that anymore…right?

I don’t think the race to the bottom is as bad and the lottery has helped.

people act like everyone with a shitty team is "tanking"

I'd sign guys if I ever had any money to sign guys. I'd spend it all every year lol
