When I first heard about The Wheel, I was instantly out, but now...idk lol, maybe the random occurrence where a good team gets a top pick is still preferable vs. having a handful of teams purposefully trying to lose every year. I'm open to it. Other ideas I've batted around in my head:
[LIST=1]
[*]Rookie Auction - teams use cap space to bid on incoming rookies. Highest bid gets the rookie. Would potentially lead to teams being more careful about giving out long term contracts and maybe doesn't look great having teams owned by rich white guys auctioning off majority black athletes, but it would for sure curb tanking and would be very interesting to watch.
[*]Expand the lottery; why stop at just the top 4 picks? Draw ping pong balls for every pick. Upside is the worst team/best tanker is no longer rewarded with a guaranteed top 5 pick. Downside is like The Wheel, you may end up with a scenario where a good team gets a high pick here and there.
[*]Just get rid of the lottery entirely and live with it; worst team gets the #1 pick instead of tanking all year, falling to #5 and deciding to tank again the next year because they didn't get a good enough pick the prior year.
[*]The Reddit Idea - Nobody owns their own pick. The worst team gets to select which team's pick they want the following year first and so on and so forth, so basically every team is betting against another team doing well instead of purposefully tanking themselves.
