The NBA is aggressively pursuing draft lottery reform that could be voted into legislation before the start of the 2017-18 season, league sources told ESPN.

Commissioner Adam Silver is a strong advocate to de-incentivize tanking by implementing lower odds on the NBA's worst teams to gain the top picks in the draft, league sources said.

So he wants to penalize bad teams that don't tank but just plain s*ck? Maybe they will make all the teams eligible for the lottery...meaning put every team in and make the whole lottery the luck of the draw. Then it wouldn't matter if teams tanked.
