NBA Targets Seven Anti-Tanking Tweaks for Next Season

NBA commissioner Adam Silver flagged seven proposed anti-tanking changes to be in place by next season, including protecting only top-four or top-14-plus picks, freezing lottery odds at a set date, banning back-to-back top-four selections after poor seasons or conference finals, extending lottery eligibility to play-in teams, basing odds on two-year records, and flattening odds across lottery teams; the league aims to move from theory to real-world rollout, with ripple effects on incentives and tanking behavior.
