TL;DR

The NBA is proposing a '3-2-1' lottery reform that expands the draft lottery to 16 teams, creates a relegation zone for the bottom three and adjusts odds to curb tanking, with a May 28 Board of Governors vote and a sunset through 2029. Critics warn the plan could punish genuinely bad teams and cause unintended consequences, potentially hurting teams that aren’t actively tanking while not fully solving the tanking issue.
