Adam Silver Pitched Idea Of Preventing Teams From Drafting Top-3 In Consecutive Years - RealGM Wiretap
Adam Silver proposed a change to the NBA lottery in which teams could not be in the top-3 two years in a row.
The measured gained traction but was met with resistance by a small number of general managers.
The Houston Rockets recently had the second pick in 2021 and then the third in 2022.
“I like the idea,” a general manager told Yahoo Sports on Tuesday afternoon. “It doesn’t stop tanking altogether, but it does keep more teams competitive as late as possible.
“And it prevents that losing culture from hurting really good young players.”
