00:00What are we thinking about this new draft lottery, huh?
00:02Yeah, it's awful.
00:04I'm good.
00:06It's bad.
00:07It's, like, really, really bad.
00:08It ignores pretty much, I mean, all of reality.
00:14The new idea that here's the thing.
00:18They're like, oh, you have to punish people who are trying to lose.
00:22Okay.
00:23You are also going to lead to more teams trying to lose.
00:28Okay, fine.
00:30Maybe teams won't want to win 19 or 20 basketball games.
00:34But now being the eighth worst team in the league seems pretty great.
00:40So maybe it won't be as egregious as some of the things we've seen from a Utah
00:44or a Washington.
00:46But it's still going to be bad.
00:49I've said to you guys, I would just do what the NFL does.
00:53Stop this lottery nonsense.
00:55Allow teams to, when they are bad, just be awful.
01:00Like, we do the NFL mock drafts.
01:02Everyone loves them.
01:03We bet the NFL draft.
01:05Everyone loves it.
01:06We're, like, three weeks away from finding out the NBA draft order.
01:11Nobody knows what it is.
01:12But really, if this is where we are, and this is how worried you are about everything,
01:17just get rid of the draft.
01:19I've heard people call for this before.
01:21I've always hated the idea.
01:23I enjoy the NBA draft.
01:25I think they're fun.
01:27But if this is, just get rid of the draft.
01:30Get rid of it.
01:31And let, basically, the rookies be free agents entering into the league.
01:36That'll stop the tanking right away.
