RE: Three Changes that Need to be Made to the NBA Draft
Interesting suggestions, I do like number 1 because it would prevent tanking however I think the big markets would dominate the league and smaller market teams would become unprofitable if this was to happen. If a small market team like Milwaukee loses its star player (like Giannis) and it takes 10 years to rebuild because they haven’t been able to build around a draft pick them they likely won’t be profitable nor would any players want to go there
Well let's use Milwaukee as an example. Giannis wasn't even a lottery pick in his draft so that goes to show that there are deals to be had later in the draft as well. Small market teams are already unprofitable as it is. Take a look at this article https://www.si.com/nba/2017/09/19/revenue-sharing-losses-net-income-cavs-spurs-wizards and you'll see what I mean.
