Episode 16 - The NBA's Tanking Problem & Future

The National Basketball Association has been dealing with a big problem for some time - tanking. A good number of its teams do not want to win in order to maximize their chances of landing a top draft pick. Evan discusses this issue from the perspective of a very casual sports fan, and also provides commentary on other areas the league should address to make basketball a more compelling sport to watch.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Gold Plan https://boardroom.tv/nba-tanking-gold-plan-solution/ Seven anti-tanking proposals https://www.si.com/nba/nba-anti-tanking-rule-changes-are-coming-next-season-here-are-the-seven-proposals https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/47967591/solution-nba-fix-tanking-problem-ahead-draft-count-wins-record-picks-2026 Full remarks from Adam Silver on tanking: https://x.com/WorldWideWob/status/2022782604970504560------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Come join our community on Discord! https://discord.gg/dpXe9p5Nkf------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you enjoy the show, and wish to help defray costs, feel free to give a tip on Ko-Fi, or on Buzzsprout.https://ko-fi.com/evanextemporaneoushttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2554066/supportAny such contribution is never necessary, but greatly appreciated.
