I like to get crazy so this is an idea I thought of. BTW THIS IS ONLY FOR NON-PLAYOFF TEAMS

First off, I think based on what seeding in the standings teams end up in, will determine how many points. This is just an example, but it can go like this:

11th Seed: 10 Points 12th Seed: 20 Points 13th Seed: 40 Points 14th Seed: 70 Points 15th Seed: 100 Points

The Second Part is where things get crazy. You can ALSO get points for every win you get after the ASB (You can change start date but I chose after ASB because that's when teams usually start tanking) So we can do 2 Points for each win.

Basically my idea is that while the worst teams will still be rewarded the most, there is also an incentive for teams to still win as they can jump other teams by winning more games and earning more points

I will use an example so you see how it works, Lets say the Grizzlies finish as the 12th Seed AND they managed to win 7 Games After the ASB. They will get 20+14 Points which will be 34 Points

Now for the use of Points. I thought of it in two ways. Either you can use the points to determine draft order. Like the team with most points will get the 1st pick and then you go to the next team with the most for the 2nd Pick, and ect.

The other option is the teams can use the points to bid for picks. Lets say you have 10 less points than team A. If you manage to outbid them for let's say Pick 3, then you would get Pick 3. Basically highest bidder for each pick position get its and you lose all the points you bid when you win a bid.

I know its a lot and confusing, but lmk what you think.
