OT: Draft Lottery

You don’t think these guys could get more if they were fas from day 1?

Some unproven rookies may get more, and some veterans would get less to make up the difference.

Would this work with the current cap system?

Why wouldn't it? If you run up against the cap and can't afford that one guy, tough. He has to go someplace else for the most money. An open system would put a premium on having a competent front office.

Big market and warm weather teams would dominate if you did that because they are more attractive destinations.

The NBA is not broken, so I don't see a pressing need to fix it.
