In March, the NBA presented three proposals to its board of governors aimed at reducing tanking in the league. These proposals suggest expanding the lottery to 18 teams and modifying the odds to discourage teams from intentionally losing games. One proposal considers a team's performance over two seasons, while another, known as the 'five-by-five' method, would provide equal odds to the bottom five teams. Despite these efforts, sources indicate that the proposals have not been met with much enthusiasm among team owners, raising questions about the effectiveness of such measures in promoting competitive integrity within the league.
