Also for the realism crew it’s not very realistic

Those same dudes probably voted for our current playoff format back in the day.

I also don’t get the point of a draft lottery in baseball.

It'll be fun, that's the point.

What do we do in this league that resembles realistic?
We vote something out every season

[nick]

We should boot whoever finishes last every season. That would really get interest up

So if it’s about fun why do you always want injuries? Injuries are not fun

[cougnix]

I initially put no but am swayed to yes if the lottery was live posted and there was a weighted draw.

Eh, disagree.

Obviously when I get an injury, that is not fun. But overall, having the entire league actually have more than 1 injury a season for some teams is most certainly more fun IMO

agree, I don't think the bottom x amount of teams should be weighted the same. last should have more balls than second to last and second to last should have more balls than third to last. If it's not this way, I will vote no (may be one of just a couple that vote no). I get the peak in interest for those teams but each team should be weighted on how they finish and shouldn't be lumped in with 3 other teams because that's how the NBA does it

Billy will give more details but fairly certain it'll be weighted.

Chalk one up for the YES votes!

The reason the NBA does it that way is so there is not a race to the bottom. All of the 4 worst teams are equally deserving and could use the top pick. It just helps eliminate the extreme race to the bottom. Now I know someone will say now they have the same but for the 4th/5th worse but you can play that game forever.

I get what you are saying, but I stand by my stance. If it goes thru with 2/3 of the vote then so be it.

The draft lottery will be fun for 1 total season. I can’t wait til the year there’s a stud prospect and the #10 team wins. That’ll be the last year of the draft lottery

I swear, some benevolent rich person could go around and send people here free money and you all would still complain.

Perfect time discuss allowing draft pick trading!

Should be starting 2078 season so I'll be good if that stud is this year
