NBA's New Anti-Tanking Rule: Draft Lottery Shakeup

The NBAs new anti-tanking rule for the 2026 draft lottery is causing a stir. The plan expands the lottery to sixteen teams, flattening the odds and limiting the top three worst teams to the twelfth pick. This aims to stop teams from gaming the system for the number one pick. The rule hits rebuilding squads hard, as seen in the Nets situation, where theyre praying for lottery lightning in a loaded draft class but face a leveled field against pure tankers. The league governors will vote next month, so if it passes, it locks in for next year. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
