The NBA's presentation of a detailed "3-2-1" anti-tanking reform to all 30 general managers in late April has shifted trader consensus toward a rules overhaul, with the proposal expanding the lottery to 16 teams, flattening top-pick odds, and introducing a relegation penalty that reduces balls for the three worst records. This follows years of discussions around competitive balance in the draft process, where current flat 14 percent odds for the bottom three teams have fueled ongoing concerns about intentional poor performance. A Board of Governors vote is now expected in the coming weeks for potential implementation ahead of the 2027 draft, though any final changes remain subject to league approval and could still face adjustments based on team feedback.
