NBA commissioner Adam Silver confirmed on Stephen A. Smith's radio show Wednesday that the NBA has landed on a proposal to present to the league's board of governors later this month to revamp the draft lottery in an attempt to curb tanking.
"What we've essentially done, and we have a proposal that we're going to be bringing to our team owners at the end of May, and that is to create essentially a system of flat odds, so that you have no particular incentive to be bad," Silver said. "There's even something we're calling draft relegation, that if you're one of the bottom three teams in the league, you'll actually have worse odds than teams that sort of are four through up until teams make the playoffs.
