A proposal to not get rid of the draft entirely, but …

Q: What is the proposed system for the NBA draft credits?

The proposal allows each team to have 100 draft credits to bid on individual draft slots, which can also be traded or rolled over to future drafts.

Q: How does advancing in the playoffs affect draft credits in this proposal?

As teams advance in the playoffs, they lose draft credits, which means the best teams will have fewer credits to bid on draft picks.

Zach Lowe shares a tanking solution idea that came up in the GMs meeting that intrigued a few General Managers: A proposal to not get rid of the draft entirely, but get rid of the draft order. Every team gets 100 draft credits let’s say. You bid your draft credits on every individual slot in the draft. You can also trade your draft credits like a veteran player for 40 draft credits if you want to go in a rebuilding direction. As teams advance in the playoffs, they lose draft credits so the best teams would have less to bid on individual picks. So you can take all your credits and bid on the number 1 pick in the draft if you want. Or if you think next years draft is better, you roll your credits over. (Via Zach Lowe Show)
