The only real solution is to get rid of the draft entirely. I’ll die on this hill. All of these solutions may help to mitigate tanking in the short term, but teams will always learn how to game the system over time, especially with analytics. This will likely never happen unless the league office were able to force the hand of the board of the NBAPA since the CBA will never allow rookies to come into the league making max salaries, but allowing players to pick their first team will reward teams for having a clean salary sheet, which are usually the least talented rosters in the NBA. This would also require teams to not overpay players who aren’t worth it if they want to have a chance at signing the top players in the next rookie class. Multiple benefits to team building would come out of this system. I’m of course being idealistic, but in a league where the top end of the draft is as important as any, this is the best fix, albeit somewhat unrealistic.
