the intentional creation of horrible teams is an embarrassment to the sport.I've offered this suggestion to reforming the draft several times:first year of implementation: weighted system like we have now for non-playoff teams.second year: winner from previous lottery is prohibited from being in the selection of the top 3 slots for 3 years. teams that received the second and third slots are prohibited from being the selection of the top 3 slots for one year. remaining eligible teams are drawn based on a weighted scale based on record. the teams that were in the top 3 slots the prior year are then added back to the draft process based on their record.Third year: repeat second year and continue on.incidents like Cleveland winning consecutive lotteries would end. Philly would have had their shot at Embiid last year but not be able to do any better than fourth this year.
