Give the actual worst teams the top picks, or juggle and eat 3 apples
Adam Silver:
DEVELOPING: The NBA is discussing creating a tournament among lottery teams to determine draft order in order to stop tanking.

Obviously Jordi wanted to put Nolan back in the game, but Nolan said to keep the same five in after he saw Mikel score a couple step back 3s. Obviously.
Jordi Fernandez said he was planning to put Julius Randle back in to close last night's game, but Randle said to keep the same five in after the Nets went on a run:
"I called [Julius] to sub in, and then we [extended the lead] to 10 or 11 points, and he tells me to just let them roll... A vet of Julius' [caliber], how important he is to us; I think that was huge."
Funny thing is Mikel and Traore were playing together the first game and the question was why Jordi couldn't get Egor and Mikel minutes together
Jordi Fernandez on Nolan Traore playing zero fourth-quarter minutes tonight:
"Mikel had those five straight points, and I just let him roll. Because you cannot just keep taking them in and out. I think that when I was about to sub Nolan in, Mikel made two or three threes and a mid-range pull-up. So I thought that was the right thing to do. Was it right? I don't know. Obviously, Nolan did very well. They scored 18 and 19. So that's a very good contribution from your two point guards."
Does he know he can play them together?

Smart coach would spam this action vs forcing wide open Clowney 3s that hits at 31%
According to our player tracking data @SynergySST, over the last three seasons, on handoffs that followed off-ball screens (including zoom and gut actions), Michael Porter Jr. has attempted the second-most threes in the league and he's shot 44% from three in those actions.
NBA lottery reform was expected to lead to awful teams winning more.
We're still early, but the reverse has happened. Many of last year's tankers look worse while trying their best to win, and there are more awful teams than a year ago today:

Good team gifted the 2nd pick now their steak is too juicy
MPJ chased down that last second rebound to secure his double double. I just know Jontay Porter still gambling on games lol.
Terrance Mann and Keon Ellis back court minutes. What are we doing here, didn't we just draft 5 pgs in the past two drafts?
Fun fact: Danny Wolf averaged 9.7 rebs and 1.4 blocks at Michigan. He also has a 7'2.5 wingspan. He should be the emergency backup every game.
How did Sean Marks expect Randle and MPJ to operate without some competent bigs? Even AD won't play on a team without a center to do the dirty work.
Go get Jalen Duren and call it a day
The Brooklyn Nets are hoping to receive good trade offers for Julius Randle and Michael Porter Jr. by the trade deadline, per @JakeLFischer

Ben Simmons got lucky here
Warriors aren't delivering payments to Kristaps Porzingis on his $20M salary, per @ShamsCharania, @anthonyVslater.
Golden State is ruling that Porzingis "is not rendering services."
