NBA definitely need to do something. The Lakers' tanking has been so brazen that they're not even coming up with injury excuses, they're sitting healthy big men to 'evaluate their younger players'. They have held out a fully fit Hill a couple of nights ago and tonight it was Davis.
Amazingly Hill did nothing more than toe the company line and said he was OK with it! Who says players and coaches don't tank?
I think the best way to curb this at least would be to bump back their picks a spot or 2 every time teams do this. If their pick after the lottery is 6th then put it back a spot or 2 to 7th or 8th, depending on how many times it's done or how many players it's done with. Not too drastic and would at least encourage teams to lose with their best available players if nothing else.
