If it was up to me we would just have equal odds for all non playoff teams including the “play in” losers. Stop incentivizing teams to lose, it’s pathetic in a competitive sport. The idea of the lottery is to help the worst teams get better but If you help a mediocre team become a playoff team with a top draft choice that is just as if not more beneficial to the league.

I think i'd want somewhat of a middle ground. Because their are some truly dreadful teams that do need the opportunity to draft the franchise changer. But I'd remove the ability to get a top 4 in consecutive years so those teams would just be taken out of the lottery the following season. Tanking for the 5th overall pick is significantly worse than constantly tanking for #1's overall.
 
Buddy Hield, the greatest inconsistent shooter in NBA history has had 6 games with 5 or more assists in 10 games with the Pacers. He had 3 such games in 55 games this season with the Kings.

In several key areas Buddy is actually putting up very similar numbers so far in Indy vs most of this season in Sac, adjusting for his greater min in Indy. He's shooting the exact same from 3, 36.8%, for example, and rebounding at a similar rate. The big differences are that he's taking a significantly larger share of his shots from 2 vs 3; his overall FG % is significantly higher.

And, per your point, not only is he getting waaaay more assists, but his asst/to ratio is very good - 2.6:1. No idea what that's about, but all credit to him. I imagine Indy's feeling pretty good about the trade.
 
The Jazz should just make a call to the Salt Lake City Stars, and ask for their worst player at each position, have them suit up for the 4th quarter, and they'd probably still win this game by 30+ points.

That does, however, beg the question...Are the Blazers REALLY this bad? Or are the Jazz ACTUALLY this good?
 
Damn, Josh Hart finished last night with a +/- of -51: the Trail Blazers only ("only") lost by 38. I've had Hart on my fantasy squad all year, and I know that he's a decent player, so it looks like Chauncey hung him out to dry.
 
FIBA World Champion™ Mason Plumlee just shot and hit a free throw left-handed, and Eric Collins sounds like he's experiencing what the French refer to as "la petite mort."
 
Denver is struggling against Toronto at home, in a game that they need to win, pretty badly. Especially considering that Minnesota just came back from a 17-point deficit to beat Miami on the road.
