The NBA's Board of Governors is scheduled to vote later this month on a proposed "3-2-1" draft lottery overhaul aimed at curbing tanking. The reform would expand the lottery to 16 teams with tiered odds—three balls for most non-playoff squads, two for the bottom three records plus select play-in participants, and one for the lowest tier—while adding league authority to adjust picks in clear cases of deliberate underperformance and capping how far bottom teams can fall. Commissioner Adam Silver recently highlighted the plan's focus on flattening incentives across the standings rather than rewarding the worst records with top odds. Trader consensus at 57 percent for approval reflects broad momentum from recent general manager briefings and public comments, tempered by the possibility of owner-level tweaks or implementation delays before the 2027 draft.
